Surprisingly Good

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2008)

I don't know how this picture got to be so good. Maybe it's all Paul Haggis. Martin Campbell is the director and while the movie was obviously storyboarded, and storyboarded well, this Bond movie makes sense in a way the other ones (even with Sean Connery) never did. I also believed Daniel Craig showed a range of emotion and energy that no other Bond actor has. The story line together with the shot composition and the male and female lead carry the film quite well. The only other movie I have liked as much is Revolver, a British film by Guy Ritchie. Other 2007 movies I've appreciated are Next, The Breach, and Syriana, and No Country For Old Men.
