CasinoRoyale marks Daniel Craig's first outing as 007, James Bond. In it he must stop Le Chiffre, a banker to the world's terrorist organizations, from winning a high-stakes poker tournament at CasinoRoyale in Montenegro.
I was one of those people who was originally skeptical about Craig's casting. I grew up with Pierce Brosnan as Bond and I didn't know if I could accept someone else in that role. Sufficed to say, I needn't have worried.
Craig is a different kind of Bond, he's not as outwardly flashy as Brosnan and he's more quietly confident. But the style, the attitude and the finesse of his Bond is reminiscent of Sean Connery, you could say he is more of the thinking mans bond.

Craig is represented as a contrast to the other Bonds because he is just commencing work for MI6, whereas the others were conveyed as developed agents with years of experience. Craig in CasinoRoyale' starts off by having to earn his Double-0 status, he is later represented as vulnerable, which although we have had insights to the characters emotional side in the series; in Tomorrow Never Dies' (1997, Roger Spottiswoode) one close up angle of Brosnan sitting on the beach thinking demonstrates that he cannot control his feelings ...
