I really don't get why the critics at large are speaking so favorably. The film's plot is hollow and flimsy (surprising given Paul Hagis involvement). It's all action and ridiculous scenarios of plot, which don't stick to reality. I know bond films do this but at least in the past they were fun. This is dark and has too much action. And I really despise Daniel Craig's thug link monosyllabic performance. He just isn't likable. I suppose if one fancies him it would make a big difference. No depth whatsoever!!! Judy Dench is great as usual and shot well, good music but falls apart with the plot and Daniel Craig's listless macho characterization!

It is one of the best pieces of work I've seen in all of 2007. A juicy mixture of stars and I looked forward to every Sunday. Beautifully shot and acted and single handedly put me on to period dramas now. Ms Pole needs to come back on the screen. A real class act of a project!! Judy Dench is subtle but endearing. Someones not much actually happens and yet you wonder why on earth is it still so incredibly captivating. It's really works because everyone of the characters is beautifully played, and the story line is layered and passionate. And did I mention Ms Pole!! I am now a big fan of this actress. I LOVED HER. Don't miss this gem.
