At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together and even torture at the hands of Le Chiffre. M (Dame Judi Dench) places Bond under the watchful eye of the beguiling Vesper Lynd (Eva Green). MI6 assigns 007 to play against him, knowing that if Le Chiffre loses, it will destroy his organization. Secret Service intelligence reveals that Le Chiffre is planning to raise money in a high-stakes poker game in Montenegro at Le Casino Royale. He learns that Dimitrios is involved with Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen), banker to the world's terrorist organizations. Following a lead to the Bahamas, he encounters Alex Dimitrios (Simon Abkarian) and his girlfriend, Solange (Catarina Morino). Not everything goes to plan and Bond decides to investigate, independently of MI6, in order to track down the rest of the terrorist cell.

Bond's first 007 mission takes him to Uganda, where he is to spy on a terrorist, Mollaka (Sebastien Foucan).

But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to '00' status. Like Abstract said, you can't get much cooler than Craig looks in that promo photo.This movie introduces James Bond (Daniel Craig) before he holds his license to kill. Bond is supposed to be ruthless, but cool. I remember the first time I saw a preview in theaters, it was just him beating the s**t out of some guy in a bathroom, then the Bond music played. The idea of a super secret agent doesn't really applyĪs far as Daniel Craig playing Bond, I love it. The cold war was the era of spies, not the modern world and the wars in the middle east. I've always thought that modernizing Bond was a bad move. I agree with Doctor Q - it's a bit silly to say 'ok, here is how Bond - the commie spying secret agent got his start - in the year 2006. I'm surprised they didn't opt for a CG Desmond Llewelyn to play Q a la Yoda in Star Wars. Which wouldn't be too difficult - if they hadn't casted Dench as M again. You have to suspend all the knowledge you have about the series and who all has carried the role. We are seeing this man for the first time - Brosnan, Connery, Moore, et al, never existed - they are all the same guy. James Bond is a person, not a generic name. The attempt with Royale is to reset the franchise. Warning - I'm a huge Bond fan, so please keep that in mind whilst reading.
