I like it overall, I think the debris needs to be a bit more pronounced, the tag line is to bold IMHO, the characters seem just a little bright to me.
On the back, and this only how see it, it does not make me feel action, it makes me think a romantic movie, Bond laying there on the ground, younger man and older woman looking on, like it's some kind of weird romance, or deep meaningful family film.
The stars right away looked to me like the heads of flowers and the faded out part Bond is laying on with the colour of the credits made it look like, to me, a mist and bit of whispy grass.
I think the synopsis is a bit small to read as well.
I'm sorry, it sounds like I've really been mean to you and given you nothing positive, just negative criticism.
You have a top front, (dark girls hair still needs a bit of work) , if you keep the characters as they are (lighter) maybe a slight shadow behind them on the rock wall would work nicely?
You've good good skills and it's great to see a new face in the WIP forum, the back just doesn't say action or thrill or excitement to me.
So again sorry if I came across harsh, I'm just being honest as I see it, that's all.
It's your work, your cover, the bottom line is YOU are happy with your cover
Don't change anything on my say so, like I said, only my simple thoughts, please continue
