Well I'm a great fan of James bonds movies. And i must admit, choosing Daniel Craig as the 007 agent was a very good decision. He acts very maturely and no doubt suits the role very properly. Well the story starts with Agent 007 in a mission turned into havoc. His ego is the main problem what causes James to make miscalculated actions. His actions lead to embarrassment to the whole British government. He is on the pursuit of a global terrorist network. James. The commanding officer, agent M (Dame Judi Dench) is a very short tempered person. Shes ready to cut his career down to pieces of he doesn't control his temper and ego. Following story comes with the usual trail of fancy cars and beautiful women in Bond's investigations. This leads him to world's most deadliest terrorist and money rollers, Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen). In a desperate way to quickly earn the money back before his financiers decide to kill him, LeChiffre, hosts a high stakes tournament. Being a great poker player, he aims to win the tournament easily. To prevent LeChiffre from regaining his money, the agency sends their best player, Bond, to the table and his Partnere the beautiful accountant Vesper Lynd (Eva Green). Her job it is to cover the high price of Bond's buy-in to the game. While playing the game, Bond discovers various truths about the terrorists. In and desparate effort, Bond makes a hasteful decision, and ends up losing all the money.
In another desparate effort, he goes to LeChiffres room to kill him and finds someone else confronting him. Then begins the chase of money and terrorists. A friend of bond, adds up money to his account and by his tricks and attempts, bond ends up winning all the total 10 million dollars and hence grabs the attention of LeChiffre. LeChiffre then kidnaps bonds assistant and bond begins to chase em down. My heart really pounded hard when i saw that Aston Martin turn upside down and get destroyed.! LeChiffre then captures bond demanding him for the money, which bond refuses to give. Some person Just barges into the room and kills LeChiffre. Bond then gets admitted into a hospital and the online banker then arrives to get the funds transefered. Vesper then ditches bond for the money. Bond finally retrieves the money
My verdict:- The movie is totally action packed. It wont fail to impress the bond fans.
