This quite a joyride, if at times it's racy to the point of erotic hilarity. Some sections of the first half are a bit sluggish due to Bond's...easily distractible nature, yet once things pick up, they don't slow down. The plot can feel a bit monotonous and convoluted at times, with several different players who are more or less trying to do the same thing and using similar methods; yet once we get to the third act, things get a fair bit clearer and the plot becomes easier to follow. While I frankly do think it would have made for a more shocking ending if the primary plot twist wasn't revealed until the beginning of the third act, I don't mind it too much for clarity's sake, and Sean Connery's strong acting during the in-universe reveal more than makes up for the lack of surprise on the audience's end.
