This, the 19th Bond movie and the third outing for Pierce Brosnan as 007, is a reasonably successful effort, which continues the solid work of GoldenEye, and is more tidy than its predecessor Tomorrow Never Dies. Brosnan seems more comfortable in the role of the super-suave spy, the regular elements (gals, gadgets 'n' gizmos, stunts and shunts) are all present and correct, and there's a strong, hard-hitting and topical story to savour.
Bond is embroiled in an all-action race to defuse an international power struggle as the world's oil supply hangs in the balance. Following the murder of a tycoon, 007 becomes bodyguard to his daughter (Sophie Marceau) who has been targeted by a psychotic terrorist (Robert Carlyle).
The World is Not Enough is a Film programme that first aired in 1999 and has been classified a 12 certificate.
