I agree completely. Not too heavy on the emotional baggage that weighs down the other three Brosnan films. He gets over the Paris thing and moves on with the mission, just like in the old days. It's lean and it moves.Nice little piece. I still think TND is the most successful of the Brosnans. It's just plain good fun!

Who knows, it may even have made sense!I think the whole production of TWINE would have went along much smoother, and a crisper image on the final screen.

Totally agree............... film career, and The Powers That Be could do a lot worse than ask him back for BOND 21.

Or were they just trying to avoid a lawsuit from Raymond Benson as he wrote about the same thing in Zero Minus Ten? Of course, it didn't really matter as they've plundered all the other writers' works anyway without credit.
Lawsuit? No offense, but that's a pretty silly theory.
And if Spottiswoode had come back for TWINE, damn right it would have looked better. TWINE has to be one of the ugliest films of the decade, not to mention the worst photographed Bond film yet. Of course the script would have been entirely different as a lot of what did get filmed was due to Mrs. Apted (a.k.a. Dana Stevens).
