Casino Royale marks Daniel Craig's first outing as 007, James Bond. In it he must stop Le Chiffre, a banker to the world's terrorist organizations, from winning a high-stakes poker tournament at Casino Royale in Montenegro.
I was one of those people who was originally skeptical about Craig's casting. I grew up with Pierce Brosnan as Bond and I didn't know if I could accept someone else in that role. Sufficed to say, I needn't have worried.
Craig is a different kind of Bond, he's not as outwardly flashy as Brosnan and he's more quietly confident. But the style, the attitude and the finesse of his Bond is reminiscent of Sean Connery, you could say he is more of the thinking mans bond.
As for the film, it's exciting, well acted, tense and has a great story too. Bond and Vespa have a great chemistry together, as do Bond with 'M' and Felix Leiter, the CIA agent who I'm glad to say appears in the new Bond film Quantum Of Solace, though who knows for how long? The poker scenes could be quite tedious for someone who's not a fan of the game, but they are very good sequences, full of tension, which is helped by good editing. Overall a fast paced action adventure and a good performance by Daniel Craig. I dare say we may be rating him very high as Bond when the time comes for him to relinquish the reins.
