Product Description

Product Description

Casino Royale introduces JAMES BOND before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to "00" status. "M" (Judi Dench), head of the British Secret Service, sends the newly-promoted 007 on his first mission that takes him to Madagascar, the Bahamas and eventually leads him to Montenegro to face Le Chiffre, a ruthless financier under threat from his terrorist clientele, who is attempting to restore his funds in a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Royale. "M" places Bond under the watchful eye of the Treasury official Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together. Le Chiffre's cunning and cruelty come to bear on them both in a way Bond could never imagine, and he learns his most important lesson: Trust no one.

Amazon.com

The most successful invigoration of a cinematic franchise since Batman Begins, Casino Royale offers a new Bond identity. Based on the Ian Fleming novel that introduced Agent 007 into a Cold War world, Casino Royale is the most brutal and viscerally exciting James Bond film since Sean Connery left Her Majesty's Secret Service. Meet the new Bond; not the same as the old Bond. Daniel Craig gives a galvanizing performance as the freshly minted double-0 agent. Suave, yes, but also a "blunt instrument," reckless, and possessed with an ego that compromises his judgment during his first mission to root out the mastermind behind an operation that funds international terrorists. In classic Bond film tradition, his global itinerary takes him to far-flung locales, including Uganda, Madagascar, the Bahamas (that's more like it), and Montenegro, where he is pitted against his nemesis in a poker game, with hundreds of millions in the pot. The stakes get even higher when Bond lets down his "armor" and falls in love with Vesper (Eva Green), the ravishing banker's representative fronting him the money.

For longtime fans of the franchise, Casino Royale offers some retro kicks. Bond wins his iconic Astin-Martin at the gaming table, and when a bartender asks if he wants his martini "shaken or stirred," he disdainfully replies, "Do I look like I give a damn?" There's no Moneypenny or "Q," but Dame Judi Dench is back as the exasperated M, who one senses, admires Bond's "bloody cheek." A Bond film is only as good as its villain, and Mads Mikkelsen as Le Chiffre, who weeps blood, is a sinister dandy. From its punishing violence and virtuoso action sequences to its romance, Casino Royale is a Bond film that, in the words of one character, makes you feel it, particularly during an excruciating torture sequence. Double-0s, Bond observes early on, "have a short life expectancy." But with Craig, there is new life in the old franchise yet, as well as genuine anticipation for the next one when, at last, the signature James Bond theme kicks in following the best last line ever in any Bond film. To quote Goldie Hawn in Private Benjamin, now I know what I've been faking all these years. --Donald Liebenson

Daniel Craig Redefines Bond – Best 007 Movie Ever
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2025
Verified Purchase

Casino Royale is hands down the best Bond movie ever made, and a huge part of that is thanks to Daniel Craig’s phenomenal performance. He brings a gritty, grounded realism to the character that completely redefines James Bond. Craig’s Bond is tough, vulnerable, and sharply intelligent — a perfect mix of action hero and complex human being.

The action scenes are top-tier, the story has real emotional weight, and the chemistry between Bond and Vesper is electric. From the brutal opening chase to the unforgettable final scene, Casino Royale never lets up. Craig made Bond feel fresh, dangerous, and more real than ever before. A true classic.

James Bond is back in action!!!
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2007

I hate to admit it but I was one of the many people who were against Daniel Craig playing James Bond in Casino Royale. I was still upset with how Pierce Brosnan had been treated by the producers of the "Bond" series, plus I felt if anyone could take Brosnan's place, it was Clive Owen. I'd seen Daniel Craig in The Road to Perdition, Laura Croft: Tomb Raider and Munich, but I just couldn't picture him as 007. I'm happy to report, however, that he completely won me over with his realistic portrayal of James Bond in Casino Royale. Though I won't say that Craig is better than Sean Connery (after all I grew up with Sean Connery playing Bond back in the early sixties), I will say that he runs a close second place with Pierce Brosnan. Certainly Craig has the best physical body of anyone to play this character, and the fight and action scenes are hard, fast, and utterly breathtaking. I expect and look forward to seeing Craig in the next two-or-three "Bond" movies.

As everyone knows by now, Bond gets his "00" status at the beginning of Casino Royale after making two kills. He's then assigned to capture a terrorist bomber in the hopes of learning who the man's boss is. This leads to one of the most exciting action sequences in "Bond" history, not to mention the public's first look at the art of "free running," which is astounding to behold. Later, when back in England, a disgruntled "M" puts her new "00" agent on a leave of absence, warning him that he basically needs to get his act together, or else. Bond takes it upon himself to track down the boss of the terrorist bomber, and this eventually leads him to Le Chiffre, the financier for the world's leading terrorist organization that's led by a man known only as Mr. White. Bond and Le Chiffre will go head to head in a battle of skill and wits during a high stakes Texas Hold'em game. We're talking about a game where the winner will take home over a hundred million dollars. During all of this, Bond will have to battle a couple of angry Africans with a rather big machete, survive a poisoning attempt, and more importantly grow to love the woman who's been assigned to work with him, Vesper Lynd. Before the end of the movie is reached, however, Bond will learn what real pain is while being tortured and then again through a terrible act of betrayal. As "M" later tells him, learn to trust no one.

Casino Royale was definitely one of the best movies of 2006, and Daniel Craig pretty much won the hearts of most of the "Bond" fans, including myself. Though there were a few things about the film that I didn't understand (why was Judi Dench chosen to play "M" at the beginning of Bond's career when she didn't actually come into the picture till his later years and why have him win the Aston Martin DB-5 in a poker game, when the car was actually provided for him by MI-6's Q Branch back in Goldfinger?), it doesn't take away from the sheer fun of watching the movie. Eva Green is just as lovely as Vesper Lynd as she was in The Kingdom of Heaven, and Giancarlo Giannini was the ideal choice to play Mathis. I've never heard of Mads Mikkelsen, but he was also perfect as the villain, Le Chiffre. All in all, Casino Royale is a fantastic addition to the "Bond" franchise. It's certainly a film that you'll want to watch over and over again. The two-disc DVD edition includes three featurettes: Becoming Bond, which runs around twenty-five minutes in length and has an interview with Craig about the challenges he faced in taking on the role, James Bond: For Real, which is also about twenty-five minutes long and goes into the making of the movie and how some of the stunts were done, and Bond Girls Are Forever, which was about fifty minutes in length and deals with many of the lovely ladies who have appeared in the "Bond" movies since Dr. No. This was quite enjoyable to watch and had interviews with Ursula Andreas, Honor Blackman, Jill St. John, and a score of others. Last on the DVD is a music video of Chris Cornell singing the theme song to Casino Royale. I wasn't overly impressed with the song, though the rest of the music works well with the film. If you're a "Bond" fan, then Casino Royale is a must for your movie library. I've already watched the DVD twice since getting it in the mail a few days ago. Needless to say, this movie is Highly Recommended.

The Man Who Dedtroyed James Bond*

I’am an old school fan; of the James Bond franchise. And this could have been; one of the great J B - 007 films of all time. It was supposed to be a prequel of James Bond; & a one time trip for Daniel Craig; & then back to the regular formula. And with the great Martin Campbell at the helm as Director; the movie was a huge success. But you know that ole saying; if it’s not broken; don’t fix it?? 🤔. Well that’s exactly what happened. For some strange reason; Barbara Broccoli; decided; to give creative control to Mr. Daniel Craig; on his second stint as James Bond for the next three films. 😲🤔. And what does he do ?🤔. He desides to change everything. 😳😱!!!! And this was the actor; that thousands of fans; including myself; were in an uproar of disapproval; as the new James Bond. But it was because of Martin Campbell’s directing; that made Casino Royal 🎰 a success. 🎱 These films history have been made by ladies & gentlemen: ( directors, John Barry with his famous; musical scores; screenwriters; stunt men & women; producers; Ian Fleming, & the late Albert Broccoli; her father; which put that undeniable stamp on the J B - 007 franchise. It’s what made Bond; world wide famous🌎. But it’s just not the same anymore. What’s even worse; these four films that Mr. Craig is in; ( including this fifth one J B 25 : No Time To Die ) is still all the same continuing film. !!!🤭🤯!!! How stupid is that. A James Bond film; use to be an event. Right up there with the other contending franchises..... ( Star Wars, Aliens, Star Trek, Indiana Jones etc......). But not now. Daniel Craig has single handily destroyed this franchise with his egotistical input to change something; that shouldn’t have been touched. Sean Connery without a doubt; was the best James Bond of all time. George Lazenby; in certain circles feel his stint as J B : On His Majesty’s Secret Service was one of the best Bond films of his time; Roger Moore gave his wonderful take on Bond with charm; humor; & without a doubt; had the best opening secrecies in his seven turns as Bond; Pierce Bronson was absolutely incredible; when he got his four turns as Bond; but I don’t care what anyone says. When the franchise had that little drought; where Connery wanted to retire; & Moore had gotten to old to play Bond any longer; it was my favorite Bond: Timothy Dalton who put James Bond back on the map; & regenerize that whole franchise with his two stints as James Bond 007: License To Kill. He chose to play Bond exactly the way Ian Fleming wrote him in his novels. Cold, handsome, & ruthlessly dangerous.!!! But having said all this; Casino Royal 🎰 still makes my top five out of ten all time favorite James Bond films. 1- Goldfinger, 2- Thunderball, 3- The Spy Who Loved Me, 4- The Living Daylights, & 5- Casino Royal🎰.👊🤯👍🙏😎🎱. In that order. As far as Casino Royal 🎰 Is concerned; it’s the only Bond film that Mr. Craig was in; that made it into my collection. The other three are just plain awful. There’s not one employee from the original ( director; producer,....etc ) franchise that have a stamp in these three films ( Quantrum of Solice; Skyfall, & Spectre * 🎱. Trust me; there’s a lot of pressure for No Time To Die; to do well. But not a lot of interest. The Marvel Universe & The Fast; & Furious franchises have taken over.!!!👊💪👍🙏🎱

After the deplorable 'Die Another Day' and the fact that Pierce Brosnan's Bond had become some kind of slimy lounge lizard without an ounce of danger, the Bond franchise looked as though it had finally had it's day. With that young upstart Jason Bourne to contend with, a radical rethink was in order. For some, Daniel Craig was a little too radical, and the press surrounding his appointment was almost universally negative. Oh, the joy of hindsight.

With Martin Cambell at the helm, an experienced hand who launched the Brosnan era with GoldenEye, which at the time was a fairly radical relaunch, and the chance to finally film the original Bond story, it was time to show the young pretenders how it should be done.

Daniel Craig's tenure as 007 begins with perhaps the most fantastic pre-title sequence of any Bond. Filmed in black and white, with a level of visceral shocking violence that truly reflects Bond's licensed killer role, and the gun-barrel motif as part of the action this announces the arrival of 007 in style.

The film continues in this new, much grittier way, but still feels very much like Bond. There are the exotic locations, beautiful women, opulent lifestyles and obsession with food and drink that is so evident in Fleming's novels.

On the whole the film sticks very closely to the novel, swapping Bacarat for texas hold-em poker and a carpet sweeper for a knotted rope ;) there are some additions to make the story more cinematic. The free-running chase at the start of the film, and the collapsing venetian house at the climax are dramatic to watch but, particularily in the case of the latter, feel a little overblown in comparison to the rest of the film and the film does seem to flag slightly in the last 20 minutes, but the climax which leaves the film open for a direct sequel is a brave move.

The emotional journey Bond takes through the film hangs very much on the chemistry between Bond and Vesper Lind, (Eva Green) and for me there just wasn't the spark that would have made this feel truthful. There simply isn't enough of an on screen frisson between the leads to make me believe that Bond falls as hard as he does.

Small niggles aside, this is a fantastic film, and I eagerly look forward to the next Bond film, not something I have said for a good few years.

The DVD comes with some fine extras. The two making of features are some of the best I have seen in a long time. One focuses on the creation of the stunts and effects and how as much as possible was filmed for real. This is great fun and beats watching actors stood in front of green screens and special effects nerds showing you how they have a new program to render smoke, again. The other feature follows Daniel Craig through the selection process, announcement of his casting and filming. This is suprisingly frank and deals bravely with his less than rapturous reception.

There is another feature on Bond girls there to pad out the disk, its a bit ropey and was on the TV around the time the film received it's cinematic release. Maryam d'Abo waxes lyrical about the legacy of Bond girls and she talks to some other aging actresses about how lovely they used to be.

Also included is the video for the Chris Cornell song 'You know my name' which is easily the best theme in years, but to be honest only fans will watch the video more than once.

So overall then, the best Bond film in years, with the best Bond in decades, backed with some good extras.

I'm off to pour myself a nice big Vesper, cheers.

Enfin ! Enfin EON, production de la saga des James Bonds a récupéré les droits du premier roman de l'agent le moins secret du monde, paru en 1953. Enfin , comme Michal G. Wilson l'avait mentionné lui même, ils ont pu faire une adaptation correcte du roman. Loin des folies de l'adaptation de 1967 ou des coupures et de la pauvreté de la production de 1954. Ici on reprend la trame principale du roman. On change d'acteur, on change de ton, on se rapproche de nouveau du ton des romans comme à l'époque des débuts ou des deux films avec Timothy Dalton dans le rôle principal. Un Bond dur, fragile et même amoureux !
L'histoire d'amour ne peut que toucher, tellement elle est forte. Trop rapide disent certains … pourtant elle ne se dénoue qu'après une heure et demi de film et surtout il arrive plusieurs péripéties pendant ce temps. Détaillons d'ailleurs la logique interne de celle-ci et profitons en pour jeter un regard à la richesse des symboliques tissées dans la trame de l'histoire elle même en analysant le centre du film qui conduit au final à l'amour entre les deux personnages principaux.
Ce texte est en conséquence principalement une analyse des symboliques sociologiques, alchimiques et psychologiques présentes dans le film est culminants lors des séquences analysées précitées.

Analyse du la scène-pivot du film
---------------------------------

La proposition est faite ici d'analyser le centre du film du film, c'est à dire la scène de jeu et surtout celle de torture pour comprendre qu'elles sont les rouages symboliques qui font qu'elle sont fascinantes pour une bonne partie du public. Pour cela on montrera dans le même temps ce qui se passe à l'écran et ce qui se passe dans la compréhension et dans le changement interne au héros, qui est au fond, un processus alchimique. En changeant les éléments qui nous entourent, on se change soi même et inversement. Citons la formule alchimique "Etre dans toutes choses et que toutes choses soit en soi".
Si James Bond est mis sur la trace du Chiffre c'est par M, sa Mère (dans le roman de Fleming M fait office de parents, c'est un homme qui en s'appelle M, la manière dont l'auteur nommé sa mère) pour qu'il grandisse et cesse d'être un "instrument contendant ("blunt instrument") et gagne en recul, en maturité, qu'il voit la vue d'ensemble ("the big picture").
Au moment de s'asseoir à la table de poker, il se trouve en face d'un homme qui l'affronte lors d'un combat singulier (aux cartes) et dont, après avoir perdu un première fois, il finit par triompher. Entre temps il a été empoisonné et a utilisé de l'eau et du sel pour pouvoir s'en sortir. L'eau et le sel constitue une expérience alchimique basique, premier pas donc dans la transformation intérieur du personnage. Il est fini d'être sauvé par la part féminine, représentée par Vesper. D'ailleurs ils ont chacun commencé leur transformation, de manière extérieure, de l'un et l'autre en faisant en sorte chacun que l'autre est l'a stature d'un homme et d'une femme en s'offrant mutuellement une tenue de soirée. La femme a pour mission de révéler l'homme et inversement. Le combat terminé, il peut savourer sa victoire avec la femme qui lui a sauvé la vie. Vient le deuxième partie
Furieux et acculé, le Chiffre, la représentation de la part sombre du personnage, donc de chacun de nous qui d'identifions au héros, décide de kidnapper Vesper, c'est à dire d'arracher la part féminine du héros. Il ne le fait pas par désir ou jalousie mais par calcul. Il souhaite obtenir le code de 007 qui lui permettrait d'atteindre les millions dont il a cruellement besoin. Notons ici que Le Chiffre calcule comment obtenir un code, un suite de nombre donc, d'un homme qui porte lui même un numéros, 007. Il s'agit donc d'une problématique portant sur une clé numéraire, et nous le verrons une manière de comprendre la mathématique universelle et donc celle interne aux humains.
En effet Le Chiffre enlève et torture Bond en le menaçant de tuer Vesper, donc d'effacer son côté féminin. Il est torturé de plus de manière très particulière. Le Chiffre frappe ses parties génitales à l'aide d'une corde nouée à son extrémité. Il est attaché et ne peut donc bouger. Ceci l'oblige à prendre des décisions et donc à faire des choix importants, à se transformer. En frappant à cet endroit précis il menace également sa virilité, et même tout l'univers, car les "œufs" touchés par le Chiffre permettent la création de la vie grâce à la force vitale qu'ils contiennent. Le Chiffre met donc en danger à la fois la féminité et la virilité, le Yin et le Yang. Comme James Bond est le représentant de la virilité brute ("blunt instrument") il ne révèle par le code à sa nemesis. Ce code est la clé mathématique qui permet de comprendre les interactions universels. Il est le prénom Vesper (donc la part féminine du Soi) qui permet de ramener l'argent gagné (c'est à dire l'or, la lumière intérieure) obtenu à force de souffrance (donc grâce au souffre) pour enfin rétablir l'ordre en satisfaisant aux parents (M) et en procédant à sa propre complétude en réunissants ses énergies complémentaires (masculine et féminine), à la fois en lui-même et avec l'autre. Le fait que le code soit en réalité des lettres, nous montre aussi, que derrière celles-ci se cachent des nombres et donc des secrets mathématiques. Le secret que 007 connait, il veut le garder coûte que coûte.
Bond croit même triompher en disant au Chiffre que comme il n'aura jamais le code, il va finir découper par ses employés qui voudront récupérer leur argent. Et là Le Chiffre lui fait comprendre qu'il ne pourrait pas avoir plus tort, car c'est son propre service, le MI6, qui va le protéger afin d'obtenir les informations qu'il possède. C'est à ce moment là, après être passé par un processus douloureux mais purificateur au niveau micro, que le héros comprend les choses au niveau macro en se rappelant ce que lui avait dit son patron/sa mère, qu'il faut voir la vue d'ensemble ("the big picture") pour mieux comprendre les choses. Il comprend là tout son erreur et le chemin qu'il l
reste à parcourir. Il ne comprend pas encore pourquoi il va être sauvé. Le spectateur peut alors comprendre que les lignes sont brouillées. En effet le MI6, donc les amis de Bond, sont prêt à sauver Le Chiffre alors que l'organisation derrière celui-ci, le Quantum, sauve Bond. On traite ici encore du thème des apparents oppositions.
Au final c'est bien son propre groupe qui tue le Chiffre, c'est à dire sur le plan psychologique et symbolique, les démons qui nourrissent les peurs du héros . Il n'a dont pas encore totalement effectué sa transformation. Mais il va pouvoir tout de même trouver l'amour, qui après cette épreuve purificatrice va surgir tel un torrent pour repartir de manière aussi brutale, d'ailleurs en terminant par la mort de Vesper dans l'eau. Notons que leur idylle commence près d'un lac, autre point d'eau, plus calme et qu'ils voyages sur un bateau jusqu'à Venise, ville d'eau par excellence.
Il reste encore la question de la trahison mais celle-ci concerne plus le personnage de Vesper.
Certains argueront que cette analyse va trop loin. A ceux là, je ne saurais que leur conseiller de lire une biographie sérieuse de Ian Fleming ou même de lire James Bond 2(007) ou The Bond Code.

Un film complet (et cravate)
----------------------------

La critique de ce film ne sera pas alourdie par un texte qui s'allongerait encore de trop. Simplement rajoutons ici que le casting est excellent et que la musique de David Arnold réalise l'exploit de rester dans le ton bondien sans jouer le thème une seule fois avant la fin du film. Il se permet de distiller de temps en temps une note rappelant les thèmes anciens mais c'est bien tout.
Le générique est aussi à noter et figure parmi les plus beaux de l'histoire de la saga et du cinéma tout simplement. Il fait œuvre de simplicité et d'ingéniosité avec ses à-plats représentants des cartes à jouer et autres accessoires de casino.
Une analogie avec ceux qui ont gagner de l'argent le 12 septembre 2001, en pariant contre le marché, est tracée et ancre Bond dans la réalité et ses complots. Ici le terrorisme est à but spéculatif, pas une histoire de martyrs. Et pourtant personne n'a affublé 007 du sobriquet de "complotiste" … Voir cet article : [Le délit d'initié du 11 Septembre 2001][1]
Deux reproches pourront être fait : le premier est de lorgner trop du côté des films de Jason Bourne, avec un héros qui repère tout, qui parfois se comporte presque comme un robot, qui note tout autour de lui mais qui étrangement commet des erreurs à une table de poker …
Le deuxième concerne la durée du film et d'avoir fait trop durer, peut être, certaines séquences.
Au bout du comptes ces dernières remarques n'empêche nullement de profiter pleinement de la réussite qu'est *Casino Royale*.
