Daniel Craig is the Bond We Deserve

Rating: 8/10 (11 February 2019)

As good a reimagining as a sixties action hero could dream of, Casino Royale brings Bond into the modern world as a very grounded, very believable and very intense action thriller. The bombastic schemes for world domination at the hands of goofy villains are reborn in strict and nail-biting tension, while the suave and smooth-talking Bond who always emerges without so much as a rip in his tuxedo is reinvented as a gritty and fundamentally human character with a captivating screen presence and haunting charm.
