Review: Spectre

By Jaskee Hickman
November 6, 2015

Daniel Craig stars as James Bond in Sony Pictures' SPECTRE

You would probably think that Spectre would be a fantastic action film filled with the style of espionage that only the likes of James Bond can produce since it’s the last film in the series to feature Daniel Craig as the iconic spymaster.

(L-r) Rachel McAdams, Mark Ruffalo, Billy Crudup, Michael Keaton and Brian d"Arcy James star in Open Road Films' SPOTLIGHT
