The Russian 007

Rating: 6/10 (26 June 2015)

Armed with a license to kill, Secret Agent James Bond (Daniel Craig) sets out on his first mission as 007 and must defeat a weapons dealer in a high stakes game of poker at Casino Royale, but things are not what they seem.
Why do I think Daniel Craig looks like a Russian? I don't know, but that's what I think. And it ruins the role for me. I don't care if James Bond is blonde, brunette, black or white. But he should look English, and for some reason Daniel Craig looks like Vladimir Putin to me.
That being said, I think the story and action are good, and it is great to see Mads Mikkelson here, before he really hit it big with "Hannibal". It is always nice to see a European actor go international. (He was great in "The Hunt", by the way, which is a must-see for any Mikkelson fan).
