Apie šį filmą

Casino Royale marks Daniel Craig's first appearance as the legendary James Bond at the start of his career, having just earned 00 status and his licence to kill. His target: the ruthless terrorist financier known as Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen). From the jungles of Madagascar to the beaches of the Bahamas, Bond's pursuit of Le Chiffre leads to a showdown in a high-stakes poker game at the luxurious Casino Royale in Montenego, and to a jaw-dropping finale on the Grand Canal in Venice.

Cubby is turning in his grave and Ian is out and hunting the crazies who seem never to have actually read the novels. Not only is the look of the actor a blasphemy against the novels there is nothing suave about the portrayal. It reminds me of the title of another movie by Craig "Flashbacks of a Fool" - what was Barb Broccoli thinking about when she had the likes of Clive in the wings. 'Nuff Said.

Some cool visuals and the acting is good but the story is filled with holes. I haven't seen a James Bond movie in a long time and thought this would be a fun recap, but man was I wrong. It seems that as a kid I was too engrossed by the explosions and guns to realize the overall poor writing and rushed plot lines. I was really hoping I would like this. Blows my mind that it has such great reviews.

Having recently read the book, I have a new found respect for a film which I already loved. Most of the main events from the book including the infamous torture scene have been replicated in a stunning new way. Eva Green really turns a mediocre Bond Girl into one of the most fleshed out characters from a Bond film. If you haven't seen the movie do so and I also recommend the book even though some will find it slow in places.
