Casino Royale (2006)

Synopsis: A British MI6 agent has to win a cards game against a private banker who funds terrorist organizations; the aim of the agent is to force the banker into ruin and make him collaborate with the government.
Appraisal: Spy thriller that has highly elaborate action sequences, nice locations, and an interesting storyline. Maybe it goes a little over the top sometimes and runs a little too long. Also, don't expect it to stray too much from formula. Based on a 1953 novel by Ian Fleming.
Rating: 65
