Outstanding movie not based on a story by Ian Flemming but based on what actually happened (but Skyfall is still a great movie)! A tension-builder from beginning to end; excellent acting of a well-constructed and presented story. Definitely a movie for adults.

Had trouble during the opening scenes hearing some of the prisoner's statements. Long (2:30+) movie but keeps moving well and tension keeps mounting.
