The British Establishment has an ally, in the guise of newly appointed double-00 James Bond. He's back with a vengeance. His introduction is a sparing partner of both intelligence and brutality, his mission is to take the ultimate gamble and place his life on the line in the arenas of terrorism and the ivory towers of power. Taking Bond around the world once more but it is in Casino Royale where this battle of wit and cunning will take place, taking no prisoners and leaving nothing but death in his wake. This gripping updated Ian Fleming story is dealt with the expectancy of urgency and drama that when the chips are down this action packed high-octane movie will deliver what England expects.

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. Bond's first 007 mission takes him to Uganda where he is to spy on a terrorist, Mollaka. Not everything goes to plan and Bond decides to investigate, independently of MI6, in order to track down the rest of the terrorist cell. Following a lead to the Bahamas, he encounters Dimitrios and his girlfriend, Solange. He learns that Dimitrios is involved with Le Chiffre, banker to the world's terrorist organizations. Secret Service intelligence reveals that Le Chiffre is planning to raise money in a high-stakes poker game in Montenegro at Le Casino Royale. MI6 assigns 007 to play against him, knowing that if Le Chiffre loses, it will destroy his organization. 'M' places Bond under the watchful eye of the beguiling Vesper Lynd. 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. In Montenegro, Bond allies himself with Mathis MI6's local field agent, and Felix Leiter who is representing the interests of the CIA. The marathon game proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond blood money and reaching a terrifying climax!

  Bond returns
Reviewed by Unknown from CAM on 02 May 2007

What a return for the Martini man! The film seperates itself from the usual camping cliches of Bond movies and is daring and adventurous, showing the darker side of the secret agent. Closer to the Ian Fleming character, this is a film no one was prepared for, because this is not the way Bond was shown before on screen. If you are a die hard Bond fan you may be dissapointed by the lack of gadgets and the usual swagger of Bond. Daniel Craig brings a more robust hardness to the part. Bond is back and ready to take the franchise to a new level!

Great debut by Daniel Craig as the world's most famous secret agent. Good plot, believable story that remains faithful to Ian Fleming's dictum from 1953. Overall two thumbs up for the movie...the local DVD release on the other hand leaves one rather shaken than stirred! All we get is a vanilla disc with ZERO features. In the light of the recently-released Ultimate editions, with enhanced picture and dts digital sound and a plethora of features this is a real slap in the face to the afficianados. It's a pity that the rental version is the same as the one for home use, and one cannot wonder why the honest SA consumer is left short-changed once again! I probably see a Casino Royale Ultimate Edition released in the future, in the meantime rent this one for now! Incidentally the 2-disc version released in the US sported the following extras on the 2nd disc: Becoming Bond: An intimate look at how Daniel Craig stepped into the role of the 6th James Bond. James Bond: For Real: Inside look at action and stunts of film Bond Girls Are Forever: Closer Look at Bond's Leading Ladies Chris Cornell?s Music Video, ?You Know My Name?
