I first saw this in 2006 with my family in a theatre.
Revisited it recently on a dvd which I own.
This is the twenty-first in the Bond series and the first film to star Daniel Craig as James Bond and my first Bond film seen in a theatre.
Basically it is a reboot and here we get to see an MI6 operative promoted to 00 agent status by assassinating two targets.
So to achieve a licence to kill, he has to kill minimum two targets.
In this one Bond pursues a bomb-maker which leads him to a corrupt official Alex Dimitrios in the Bahamas.
Bond later uncovers the plot of the destruction of Skyfleet's prototype airliner by a private banker to terrorists known as Le Chiffre.
This film has one of the best parkour chase sequence.
It has old skool action n thankfully there is no reliance on gadgets n cgi.
One of the best part is that we get to see a Bond who is inexperienced, vulnerable n his transition to a cold blooded killer is very well done. Thank God, ther is no cheeky humor.
Daniel Craig in this movie is in very good shape n at times his character is believable, which can run, sprint, endure both torture n poison and sometimes who gives a damn whether its shaken or stirred, unlike his predecessors.
This time Bond faces Le Chiffre n his henchmen Valenka, Alex Dimitrios, Kratt, Carlos Nikolic and one of the world's best free runner Mollaka Danso, a freelance terrorist working for Chiffre n Dimitrios.
Bond also faces the machete yielding terrorist Steven Obanno n his bodyguard.
Bond pursues Mr. White n faces his henchmen, the most famous being Adolph Gettler, the man with a unique glasses who gets shot in the eye.
I miss those olden Bond villain's powerful henchmen.
This time Bond gets to cool off with Caterina Murino n Eva Green.
The film ends at a breathtaking beautiful location of Lake Como, the most beautiful lake in the world for its microclimate and environment with prestigious villas and villages.
It also ends with the iconic dialogue.
