there was always something about him...

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2007)

back in 2005 when he was given the role, Daniel Craig faced opposition from the start. Die-hard Bond fans - with little room for stepping out of the over-suave comfort zone set by Moore and Brosnan - objected feverishly to the news, even going as far as setting up websites opposing the decision. But Craig has proved his critics completely and absolutely wrong. Not only has he delivered a performance with Bond-style precision and focus, he has taken the super suave spy back to his roots. He's cold, gritty and no longer invincible - physically or emotional - and has offered Bond-world a winning formula of true charisma and no-nonsense, hard-working, determined secret service hard man. He even snubs the suggestion of a Martini shaken or stirred.
Daniel Craig's future as James Bond? fairly secure I'd say
