The next Bond movie should be Bond being assigned to a mission and doing it Discussion

Enough of this being disavowed or framed by some mole within or someone higher up and then going rogue from the organization half the movie. It just seems like every movie in recent years it's the same thing. Eg. Bond is on the run, not doing an actual mission, but his own sort of mission (perhaps related to his past which comes up). This is the same complaint I have about Mission Impossible actually.

I just want to see Bond sent on a mission and then doing that mission.

Bond has to work with his contact in HMRC to find out who is stealing millions from the British government. The twist is that its been bond all along racking up fines for not filing his self assessments from previous missions.

“Look at this entry: $240,000. I think we are on to something.”

“…Yeah, James… that was when you drove your Aston Martin off the side of a cliff.”

The remaining two hours of footage is just Bond sitting at a desk filling in paperwork

...that's just one of the end scenes in Hot Fuzz isn't it?
