"An intense, violent, adrenaline pumped action film"

Rating: 7/10 (22 November 2006)

Bond. James Bond
The super successful saga of the British super-spy, reinvigorates and restructures itself after 44 years and 20 films later.
Daniel Craig steps into Bond's well tailored clothes and enjoys a piece of intense action, beautiful women, exotic locations as well as being subjected to torture and being poisoned.
Casino Royale is a more believable and possible story, unlike the previous Bond films which involve insane megalomaniacs wanting to take over the world (or destroy it). Royale is about a private banker who openly funds terrorist organisations around the world, trying to regain the money he lost from his shares by setting up a high stakes poker game.
That's not going to happen though! Bond is there to destroy all of Le Chiffre's plans.
One of the most refreshing action films of recent years. Intense action like the Mission Impossible Trilogy and that extra Bond touch, Casino Royale is the 21st Century phase of James Bond.
7/10
