With two kills under his belt, MI6 agent James Bond (Daniel Craig) is elevated to OO status, but his next mission goes badly awry. Redemption is offered in a high-stakes poker tournament in Montenegro against dastardly banker Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen). If he wins, and lives, he can bankrupt the money man's financial finagling for terrorists around the world. With treasury agent Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) keeping a firm hold of his purse strings, the unshakable secret agent must decide who he can trust in the game of his life.

A blistering return to form for the tired Bond franchise. Daniel Craig breathed new life into the world-weary secret agent, winning plaudits for his muscular performance.

Did you know? Daniel Craig was Barbara Broccoli's (the film's producer) first choice for the role of Bond. She had him in mind after seeing his performance in Layer Cake (2004).
