Skyfall Genre

Skyfall is part of the action/adventure genre, although I feel it leans more towards action than adventure. The film opens with Bond chasing a henchman through the streets of Istanbul before grabbing a motorbike and riding after him upon the rooftops. Chases are very typical of the action/adventure genre and often involves guns (if it fits the mise en-scene) as this one partially did. The car chase went through tight corners and small alleyways before the henchman crashed into a market and had to find another way around. This crash caused an explosion  which is another typical trait of an AA movie. The motorbike chase took place upon the rooftops of the Grand Bazaar and was very precarious. Bond is also in a very exotic location, which is nothing like England and means Bond is out of his usual surroundings. Interesting locations is a staple of not just Bond movies but all adventure films as they create great atmosphere.
