What is GoldenEye about?
When a powerful secret defense system is stolen, James Bond is assigned to stop a Russian crime syndicate from using it.
Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
Yes. It lands on a happy note.
A suave agent races to stop a global catastrophe, delivering witty one-liners with every brisk, suspenseful turn.
Pulpy, with dry wit. A party watch at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Prime Video.
