What’s in a name? Quite a lot, if that name happens to belong to one of the most iconic fictional characters on the planet. Matthew Bauer’s documentary delves into the legacy of James Bond, meeting an assortment of men who share their name with the spy. It’s an intriguing idea that might, perhaps, have sustained a short film. As a feature, though, it’s messy, overstretched and dedicates too much time to a rather off-putting Swedish Bond obsessive who has officially changed his name and is possibly a few cylinders short of the full Aston Martin.
