James Bond goes on his first ever mission as a 00. Le Chiffre is a banker to the world's terrorists. He is participating in a poker game at Montenegro, where he must win back his money, in order to stay safe among the terrorist market. The boss of MI6, known simply as M sends Bond, along with Vesper Lynd to attend this game and prevent Le Chiffre from winning. Bond, using help from Felix Leiter, Mathis and having Vesper pose as his wife, enters the most important poker game in his already dangerous career. But if Bond defeats Le Chiffre, will he and Vesper Lynd remain safe? Written by

Several times throughout the movie, James Bond is seen and heard switching the safety lever off of his Walther P99. In fact, the Walther P99 handgun has no slide-lever safety; the gun instead contains 4 internal safeties. An immediate "safety trigger" is located on the trigger itself, which will not pull back unless properly pivoted from the bottom. See more »

M really doesn't mind you earning a little money on the side, Dryden. She'd just prefer it if it wasn't selling secrets.

There is only one movie franchise that has twisted, turned and reinvented itself on so many occasions...
007 has unfortunately dwindled more than it has bedazzled over the last decades but I am relieved to see that Martin Campbell has put the edge back into the Bond series.
The originally unpopular Craig grinds through this action packed feature with ease and in my opinion proves all of his doubters (including me) very very wrong..
At last we have another true Bond.. Sharp, sophisticated and as tough as nails... And perhaps correctly more shaken than stirred.
Welcome back 007... Welcome back.
