Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)     

Starring Michelle Yeoh (Wai Lin), Pierce Brosnan (James Bond), Jonathan Pryce (Elliot Carver)

Michelle stole the show in this Bond movie, the 20th of the series, as Wai Lin, Chinese special agent who helps Bond take on his latest opponent, Elliot Carver, multimedia tycoon and greedy whacko.  Michelle didn’t get to do her own stunts, but the banter between the two agents as they try to outtalk each other and not get killed is great.  The stunts are pretty good too, Michelle really wanted to do some of them but wasn’t allowed.  Not a bad film overall, I was still bugged by the fact that Bond “got” the girl in the end, even though Michelle could easily have gotten out of the silly predicament Carver put her in.

Grade: B+
