Description
With two professional assassinations in quick succession, James Bond is quickly 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 show more terrorist organizations. 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. The marathon game proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond blood money and reaching a terrifying climax. show lessTags

James Bond kicks ass and plays cards.
The first part (James Bond Kicks Ass) is all kinds of amazing. The second part (James Bond Plays Cards) slows down a lot, but is still good. The third part (James Bond Doesn't Know the Movie Isn't Over Yet) is pretty bad. Even the action scene at the end is a sloppy mess.

Daniel Craig is very much OK as 007 : a serious action hero reminiscent of the legendary Roger Moore. No longer plagued with convenient gadgets, inane comedy, and over-the-top story lines, director Martin Campbell goes back to basics, and it pays off with interesting and suspenseful action scenes, especially the early chase sequence in Madagascar. The movie's only discernible flaw is the opening song from Chris Cornell. Along several decades "nobody does it better" than Bond.

La primera misión del agente británico James Bond (Daniel Craig) como agente 007 lo lleva hasta Le Chiffre, banquero de los terroristas de todo el mundo. Para detenerlo y desmantelar la red terrorista, Bond debe derrotarlo en una arriesgada partida de póquer en el Casino Royale. Al principio a Bond le disgusta Vesper Lynd, la hermosa oficial del Tesoro que debe vigilar el dinero del gobierno. Pero, a medida que Bond y Vesper se ven obligados a defenderse juntos de los mortales ataques de Le Chiffre y sus secuaces, nace entre ellos una atracción mutua.
