Casino Royale

Daniel Craig takes the lead role in the 21st film in the James Bond franchise.
After a few years in the wilderness, Bond is effectively rebooted as we meet the character before he is given double-0 status and has to earn his license to kill. This is covered in the opening sequence of the film, which is displayed in black and white - a move that makes it all the more interesting.
From the opening exchange where Bond gets double-0 status, to the parkour chase through a construction site in Madagascar, and up to the final sequences in Venice, Casino Royale is nothing short of an adventure that viewers are all too keen to experience.
When first watching the film it's easy to think the high stakes poker game is a lull. In a later viewing, the tension between Bond and the main villain Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) builds up to until a minor spark could set it off. It is at this time we meet CIA agent Felix Leiter, who in this carnation of the Bond films is a hard-edged, black man (it is the first time Felix is a black man, and is played by Jeffrey Wright).
The first woman Bond seduces is the wife of a previous target, who unintentionally reveals information to Bond. Solange Dimitrios, played by Caterina Murino, is killed by Le Chiffre in retaliation. The second is Vesper Lynd, an agent from the Treasury played by Eva Green, who the young Bond falls in love with.
As with most other Bond films, his car (this time an Aston Martin DBS V12) is destroyed, but in this case quite spectacularly. In fact, the stunt where his car is totalled was confirmed by the Guiness Book of Records as a new world record for the most rolls by a car in a film - seven.
Overall it is a great film. There aren't many points that can be raised against Casino Royale, as it is a more than worthy addition to the franchise.
