...battered, bruised, bearded and, yes, even long-haired. We've never seen Bond like this. Naturally, he eventually wins freedom and makes his way back to London, only to learn that he's been stripped of his 00 status. His quest for redemption and his effort to unmask the traitor take him into the arms of three women and the crosshairs of Gustav Graves (Toby Stephens), an audacious diamond tycoon bent on (what else?) world domination.
