Good to see Jesper Christensen back... but the character of Mr White is softened since his first two Bond films where, frankly, the characterisation was much more convincingly written.
The actor's performance is fine but I don't buy his sudden development of a conscience.
Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

Mr White's questioning of "the word of an assassin" and his daughter's later description of Bond as "a paid assassin" echo Octopussy's dialogue when challenging Bond.

I always thought he left it on purpose so that whoever found it would follow him and he'd learn more, keeping the trail going so to speak. Either that or he's learnt nothing from his embassy stunt in CR.
C is great here and I like the actor, but I always kinda felt that this role called for an older actor. I find it unlikely that someone so young would necessarily have that level of responsibility.
I think he's about the right age for an unscrupulous high-achieving climber of the careerist greasy pole.

And I have nothing to do with it
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
I agree with 50% of that
The deserted streets do lend the atmosphere a certain quality... similar with how London is seen at night later on.
Nothing to do with here or anyone here.
Agreed.
The conference name cards call back to the UN conference at the beginning of LALD (Mendes' first Bond film as a young viewer, apparently).

Nice to someone in the industry got more fucked up by the voodoo stuff than Me. Pity his directing is tripe!
I only just realised this film took her to the full 20 years of playing M, so beating Bernard Lee's run.

I think that's done on purpose. Shame it was overcast that day

Well he‘s telling her that her father is dead. What do you expect?
