Ranking James Bond Films: #20 – “The World Is Not Enough” (1999)
I’m terribly sorry, but Denise Richards drains the swamp with her role in The World Is Not Enough.
Ranking James Bond Films: #21 – “Quantum Of Solace” (2008)
Quantum Of Solace is beyond a stepdown from Craig’s debut film, Casino Royale.
