James Bond returns to the screen; a franchise lives on.

Rating: 8/10 (15 March 2007)

Bond is back...looking different, but no less dangerous. Daniel Craig is the newest James Bond and will attract his share of 'nay sayers', but give him a chance. He makes the best of it as Bond, the M16 agent before being promoted to 007 status. M(Judi Dench)has some doubts with this reckless out of control, but smarter than average spy. Bond's mission is track down the heart of terrorist cell, a loan shark named Le Chiffre(Mads Mikkelsen). Bond finds himself in a high stakes,$150 million, poker tournament in Montenegro. Keeping an eye on the British government's 'bank roll' is a lovely Treasury Agent(Eva Green). This Bond may not care if his martini is shaken or stirred; but he is ruggedly handsome, electric, brutally dangerous and exudes high octane energy. Other cast members: Jeffrey Wright, Caterina Murino, Giancarlo Giannini and Jesper Christensen.
