directed by Martin Campbell
James Bond (Craig) works a case that takes him to Madagascar, London, the Bahamas, Miami, Montenegro, and Venice. He spends a lot of time in a casino in Montenegro where he works with Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), another operative but one who is not licensed to kill or even familiar with it. It is at the casino that he meets Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright), a CIA operative, and crosses paths with Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen, a financier of international terror organizations.
My favorite scene in the movie is the chase scene that happens in Madagascar. It doesn't get any better than that. There are some other tense moments but the only other one that really stands out is the scene in the building that is collapsing. The first hour wasn't bad but the movie did seem to drag a bit once they got to the casino.
I thought I had seen this movie before but I'm not so sure now. I know that I saw the next two of the Daniel Craig James Bond films in the theater. I'm sure I didn't see this one in the theater but I thought I had seen it on DVD or streaming at some point in the past. I don't think I did because it did not ring any bells at all.
I'm not that crazy about this movie. I'm glad I can say that I have seen it but I doubt that I will watch it again. It wasn't bad it just didn't speak to me. I think they tried to work a little too much in to the movie.
