    Storyline

    Edit
    James Bond (Daniel Craig) goes on his first mission as a 00. Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) 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 amongst the terrorist market. The boss of MI6, known simply as "M" (Dame Judi Dench) sends Bond, along with Vesper Lynd Eva Green) to attend this game and prevent Le Chiffre from winning. Bond, using help from Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright), Rene Mathis (Giancarlo Giannini), and having Vesper pose as his partner, enters the most important poker game in his already dangerous career. But if Bond defeats Le Chiffre, will he and Vesper Lynd remain safe? —simon

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Daniel Craig initially rejected the part of James Bond, as he felt that the series had settled into a standard formula. He changed his mind when he read the finished script.
    • Goofs
      When Bond enters the password at the start of the tourney, he clearly hits the 5 button (JKL). Later in the movie he reveals that "Vesper" is the password (no JKL).
    • Quotes

      James Bond: [to Vesper] Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?

    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits are set in a stylish montage of fights with gambling symbols: playing cards, playing card symbols (diamonds, hearts, spades and clubs), kings and queens, and roulette wheels.
    • Alternate versions
      US version is cut in the toilet fight and the stairwell fight scene to secure a PG-13 rating. In the later, Obanno's henchmen hitting the ground and Obanno crashing into the glass window are the most obvious cuts. However, additional punches, elbows, and shoving are removed and the struggle at the bottom of the stairwell was heavily shortened. The music score has also been remixed to accommodate the edits, and alternate footage used to smooth over some of the edits. This version was also used for the DVD/Blu-ray release.

    Even accountants need a good lay
    It takes too much banter and back and forth before the chick spreads it for James Bond. I mean this is James Bond not Liberal Play Hour so please. At least she was thin and comely and not trashy tattooed.
