007: No Time To Die (2021)
The 25th film in the fifth-highest-grossing film franchise of all time, No Time to Die sends Daniel Craig off with a bang in his fifth and final turn as British MI6 agent James Bond, 007.
No Time to Die was the fourth-biggest box office hit of 2021, won an Oscar for its Billie Eilish theme song, and took home two Critics’ Choice Super Awards, for Best Action Movie and Best Actor in an Action Movie (Craig).
With Emmy winner Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) co-writing the screenplay, No Time To Die has an 83% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes. As TIME Magazine says, “With his fifth movie as 007, Craig is so extraordinary he leaves only scorched earth behind. There will be other Bonds for those who want them. For everyone else, there’s Craig.”
