Casino Royale introduces James Bond before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous and with two professional assassinations in quick succession he is elevated to "00" status. "M" (Judi Dench) head of the British Secret Service sends the newly-promoted 007 on his first mission that takes him to Madagascar the Bahamas and eventually leads him to Montenegro to face Le Chiffre a ruthless financier under threat from his terrorist clientele who is attempting to restore his funds in a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Royale. "M" places Bond under the watchful eye of the Treasury official Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together. Le Chiffre's cunning and cruelty come to bear on them both in a way Bond could never imagine and he learns his most important lesson: Trust no one.System Requirements:Runtime: 144 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: PG - 13 UPC: 043396148598 Manufacturer No: 14859

A welcome departure from the past

I was skeptical that anyone could surpass Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan as 007, but with the right script, Daniel Craig has brought depth to the character who had previously been seen as a miraculously lucky, womanizing, defender of the free world. He is still lucky, dodging machine gun fire, playing cards (Hold 'em instead of baccarat), etc., but not so over the top that it becomes ridiculous. The torture scene, while unique and interesting, did lack some credibility. Overall, though, this an excellent Bond who brings new legs (as well as a fresh face, body, and mind) to the long-running franchise.

thought it was gonna be bad but really like it

one of my favorite james bond movies of all time could be cause im younger but i think the best of all times

How To Make A Spy

Introducing a new James Bond: Daniel Craig. The story line is old and has even been spoofed by Woody Allen in a film of the same name. The
question remains, How do you train a person to be a sanctioned assain?
Watch this film and you will be surprised at what it takes to gain the
double O designation. Judi Dench plays Bond's boss and portrays this
position with her usual panacity to give a true performance.

Bond's First Mission!!!

Forget the last 1,367 Bond movies, this one reinvents the character. When I first saw this, I was confused as to what it was, but later, I realized they were starting over. Bond enters a high-stakes poker tournament at Casino Royale in Montenegro. Le Chiffre, the bad guy tries to win, but Bond must beat him. With the help of Vesper Lynd, Bond must stop the bad guy. If you love action films and James Bond, you'll love CASINO ROYALE!!!!
