This i believe has to be the greatest 007 movie ever and the one that got me into the James Bond franchise. Daniel Craig has done for fantastic job of playing the MI6 agent James Bond. Daniel adds more attitude to the character as well as his usually behaviour of charming women.
For those that don't know the story 007 is based on the books writteb by ian fleming and casino royale was the 1st one is ever wrote. Casino Royale takes a look at James's 1st mission after he had been promoted to 007 status. The story kicks off in Madagascar where James is in search of a international bomb maker Mollaka. This then lead to a very enjoyable chase which Mollaka using free running to get through obstacles which makes it difficult for James to catch him. Later on in the story James believe that the man Mollaka works for Le Chiffre is in debt with some big organisations and is hosting a poker game where the winner walks out with $150 million. So it's up to james to make sure that Le Chiffre loses this game by taking part himself.
The specials features on the blu-ray dvd are brilliant to watch. In the making of casino royale it explains the whole story of why the producers needed a fresh new face to play the role. Why Daniel Craig was their choice. His and the medias reaction to the decision. Also explained is how daniel had to do most of the stunts shown in the movie including the chase for Mollaka which lead to the giant 100ft crane.
