Netflix Top 100 - 26. - Casino Royale


This movie was just what the James Bond movies needed to get the series kick started again.  A new bond, a tougher looking one, and a great series of action sequences.  Daniel Craig is the new 007, taking over for Pierce Brosnan who was getting a little old for the role anyway.  This new version of bond is much fitter, and much more of an every man's spy, than Brosnan's portrayal of the character. 

This is the first of the James Bond book series and finally it was made into a great movie. In the film, 007 is assigned to play his way into a poker game where a banker named Le Chiffe will be playing.  The intent is to defeat Le Chiffe so that he will be forced into debt with his terrorist clientele.  Aided by the super sexy Vesper Lynd, 007 plays well and celebrates equally well.  However his victory is short lived and that's when the movie really gets interesting...

Not only is Craig good, but the supporting cast with Judy Dench as M, Eva Green as Vesper Lynd, and Mads Mikkelsen as Le Chiffe are perfectly cast.  The action scenes are amazing and the movie works on every level.  If you like action movies, then you'll love this one.  Just Queue It!
