But should this odd pairing of revenge espionage and Miami Vice-style crime drama be callously thrown to the sharks? Join Sebastian and Does This Come in Chromium's Matt Anderson as they revel in the glory of a young Benicio Del Toro, mix cocaine with gasoline and celebrate the all-too brief run of the franchise's most underrated James Bond.
