Movie Review - Casino Royale

Casino Royale (2006)
directed by Martin Campbell
rating: 3 out of 5 cravats
seen on the screen at Oxford Studio Cinema

Barbara Cauliflower can't reinvent Bond when he's imploding waterfront Venetian property with a machine gun - intimate or crass, pick one or the other, stick to it - but some moments - lines, looks, gestures - and one actor - blue-eyed Daniel Craig - do their British best. Best since Roger Moore, but I miss the Russians.
