Generally speaking, Die another day It was one of the worst received Brosnan’s Bond filmsThe film, which has a score of 55% from critics and 41% from the audience in Rotten tomatoeswas widely criticized for being too far-fetched. From the invisible car to the cartoonish villains and the inclusion of a satellite that basically shoots energy beams, Die another day I just felt like I had gone too fareven for Bond.

Unlike There is no time to dieThe Cuba sequence, which introduces Paloma, Ana de Armas’s fan favorite only to have it disappear from the narrative, Jinx actually returns to play a major role during the Die another day endNot only does Jinx take out Frost (Rosamund Pike), she’s also the Bond girl who seemingly gets a happy ending with Brosnan’s 007.
