James Bond's first 007 mission takes him to Madagascar, where he is to spy on a terrorist Mollaka. Not everything goes as planned and Bond decides to investigate, independently of the MI6 agency, in order to track down the rest of the terrorist cell. Following a lead to the Bahamas, he encounters Dimitrios and his girlfriend, Solange. He learns that Dimitrios is involved with Le Chiffre, banker to the world's terrorist organizations. Secret Service intelligence reveals that Le Chiffre is planning to raise money in a high-stakes poker game in Montenegro at Le Casino Royale. MI6 assigns 007 to play against him, knowing that if Le Chiffre loses, it will destroy his organization. 'M' places Bond under the watchful eye of the beguiling Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together--and even torture at the hands of Le Chiffre. In Montenegro, Bond allies himself with Matthis, MI6's local field agent, and Felix Leiter, who is representing the interests of the CIA. The marathon game proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond blood money and reaching a terrifying climax.

What the !@#%!!!!! - Casino Royale Reviews
This was not at all the James Bond I was raised on. The womanizing jerk with daring words and gadgets.
WHY IS HE EVEN IN A FORD FOCUS IN THE FIRST PLACE & WHY DID HE EVER SAY I LOVE YOU TO THAT WOMAN. THE 007 I GREW TO RESPECT WOULD HAVE NEVER SAID THAT ALSO JAMES BOND ONLY HAPPENED TO MAKE 3 KILLS IN THE MOVIE AND THE TRHEE WERE BLACK MEN. ONE HE SHOT IN COLD BLOOD!!! SO THE NEW JAMES BOND IS NOW CONSIDERED A RACIST.
WHO CARES ABOUT A POKER GAME THIS MOVIE REALLY MADE ME UPSET AND ASHAMED TO EVEN WANT TO PAY MONEY TO SEE IT. LIKE BUYING A MC HAMMER MUSIC CD THE VISUALS ARE GREAT IF YOU LIKE WATCHING POKER. ON ANOTHER BRIGHT NOTE THE FIRST SCENE WAS MAGNIFICENT AND FULL OF ACTION UNTIL 007 SHOOTS THE GUY IN COLD BLOOD
