The Best James Bond Movie In the Last Years

Rating: 8/10 (6 May 2007)

After receiving license to kill from the MI-6, the secret agent James Bond (Daniel Craig) follows his leads and avoids the destruction of the greatest airplane in the world in Miami plotted by the evil banker Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) to crash the bonds in the stock market and break the air flight company. The banker loses the funds of international terrorist organizations and organizes a poker game in Casino Royale, in Montenegro, to raise the money of the investors. James Bond travels with the British accountant Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) to bet and defeat La Chiffre and force him to look for protection with the MI-6, disclosing the names of the terrorists. James wins, but is double-crossed, in a game of betrayals and murders.
The model "007" was completely exhausted in the last Pierce Brosnan movies, with silly plots and cartoonist scenes. All the previous actors were handsome, with the stereotype of the British gentleman, exactly the opposite of Daniel Craig. This actor is surprisingly responsible for the renewal of the franchise, presenting the best James Bond movie in the last years, with a violent and tough character in a great adventure. The beauty and elegance of Eva Green make her one of the most beautiful Bond girls ever. The screenplay, full of betrayals and plot points, is consistent and well resolved, and the viewer does not feel the running time of 144 minutes and the wonderful locations complete this great entertainment. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "Cassino Royale" ("Casino Royale")
