Right out the gate, the film wastes no time is displaying Bond's brutality against his opponents, though with the caveat that he is still prone to making logical mistakes a point he is reminded of by his boss 'M', and one that goes on to haunt the character. This, combined with a solid cast, an exceptional line of music scores including a breathtaking intro, and a number of action sequences that hit all the right beats make the film a must see for fans of the franchise and newcomers alikeĬoncerning the plot, the movie centers around a new 00 agent, James Bond, as he attempts to shut down a terrorism-funding scheme. Craig's more serious and business-before-pleasure take on the iconic MI6 agent lends itself well to the increase in espionage presented throughout the film, which in turn allows for the more grounded storyline to flow seamlessly. The transition between the last version of Bond, played by Pierce Brosnan, and the latest iteration acted by Daniel Craig, is a bit jarring though not to the detriment of the character. 'Casino Royal' is a return-to-form, suspense-driven Bond film that delves deeper into the series' inherent spy-craft roots more so than a number of previous entries, albeit with a touch less of tech and gadgets.
