His USP remains his barely legible accent and I-mean-business attitude. Daniel Craig is an instant hit unlike someone like Roger Moore who had to convince us for a couple of movies or three. He is a mean killing machine and lives by his code of duty. Meanwhile, it is revealed that the match is not just between Le Chiffre and Bond, but a third hand too.īond is no more (or not yet!) the smooth talking, ever punning, suave gentleman. Sure enough, the ordeal becomes one involving more than Bond’s brawns. He is aided by Vesper Lynd, responsible for handling the huge sum of money sent along with Bond, and Mathis, the local agent for MI6. Bond is sent to play him fair and square and turn him bankrupt, forcing himself to run out of business. In this installment he follows Le Chiffre, the investment giant who deals with the money lent to him by the leading terrorist organizations and multiplies it using Poker matches.

The film follows the early professional life of Bond, just after he has been elevated to the 00 status. Daniel Craig becomes the sixth man to don the role of the British secret agent in Casino Royale.
