I must say that Craig is definitely an extremely good 007.  The movie starts out with Bond killing a rouge MI6 section chief.  He then gets tangled up in a bomb plot, and is soon thrust into a poker tournament for the &#8220;high rollers.&#8221;  The buy-in is $10 million, and many of the players there are terrorists hoping to use the prize money ($150 million) to fund their activities.  Bond enters to win the money away from these unsavory characters.<\/p>\n<p>The acting of this movie was very good.  Bond was excellent, the &#8220;Bond girl(s)&#8221; w(as\/ere) hot, as it should be.  The music was superb.  In fact, it may be the first James Bond soundtrack to grace my music collection, if I can find it.  The action sequences were tight, well-filmed, and exciting (especially the opening one&#8230; the henchman was freaking pimp, and he was clearly a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Freerunning\">free runner<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>I must say, that Casino Royale was one of the best James Bond films I&#8217;ve seen in recent years.
