The trail, the mission ultimately leads to Bond taking part in a high stakes Poker tournamist. With help from the beautiful and mysterious British government agent Vesper Lynd who is supplying him millions to bet in the game 007 sets out to bring Le Chiffre to justice - by beating him at poker.

I've never been a Bond fan, though I've seen a number of the films. All the recent films have been able to earn from me is a number of eye rolls and yawns, but not Casino Royale!

Despite the controversy in his casting; Craig Davis is a perfect Bond. He portrays the character with just the right amount of cool, confidence, vulnerability and heart. Heart is a vital part of the Casino Royale movie which actually features a great romance, rather then just 'Bond Girls'.

The film is action packed. I constantly found myself holding my breath and gripping the armrests of my seat (but in a good way). The scenery is stunning with settings in the Bahamas, Venice, Italy and England.

All in all, Casino Royale is a stunning film! One of my favorite actions films of all time. A must see!
