I think Live & Let Die has a nice nonesense blend of spy & humour, and even a little bit of fear.

We can forgive past mistakes. My fear is some people see an opportunity for power by saying what people want to hear...as a grift. If your past mistake was a noxious grift it's at least one red flag - not necessarily a full on problem, but certainly a flag.
