Casino Royale part 2

The action then shifts to the Bahamas where Bond, crashes a Range Rover after being mistaken for a Valet by a group of Germans. This I thought hard to believe a third world embassy in a third world country can record Bond’s murder of a bomb maker. Yet a high class international resort, leaves a blank.
Bond seduces the wife, of his quarry. It is disclosed later that he enjoys sleeping with married women. After beating her husband, at Poker he chases her to Miami. Where at Miami dade Airport. Sir Richard Branson has his Cameo. Being probed by the TSA. A marked contrast to ``Die Another day’’ Where Madonna, and Oliver Skeete basically played themselves. Sir Richard. Either by accident or design, is seen quietly in the back ground.
The Stunt sequence at Miami-Dade Airport has local LE shoot out the tires.
We then return to the Bahamas. Where M, questions Bond, and has him chipped. She wants to keep an eye on him. The sight of Bonds ex lover, killed, and tortured does not elicit much of a response from Bond
The action shifts to Montenegro.
Montenegro  ``Friend of Russia’’ We will ignore the amusing idea, that British Intelligence has any influence there.
On the Eurostar to Montenegro, we meet Vesper. This changes the tack of the story. The film, then changes tack. There is a great exchange between Bond and Vesper. Recalling the Spencer /Hepburn Movies. Both are Orphans. Which is from the books, and mentioned in The Spy who loved me
The film is then centred on a poker game. At the Casino in Montenegro. Bond the best player in the service. Is being supervised by a treasury official Vesper.
One thing I have to comment on. The sums Bond, is being asked to pursue is about 150 million at the most.
That’s Chicken shit. For a state
Iceland is in deficit of about 3 Billion. Eire of about 5 . 150 Million, is the Chelsea first team. Its X Men origins. Its a couple of buildings in London. Who cares. It looks awfully dated. Jesus the US, is spending Trillions to dodge the recession.
Anyway, we follow the game. Bond orders a drink, a particular kind of martini which, meets with general approval, except one character who asks for the drink sans, the fruit.
There is a scene where the villain La Chiffre is attacked by African terrorists looking for there money back. Bond tries to send Vesper away. He can’t and she witnesses him killing too killers. Its also notable for demonstrating that the main villain is not in control of his destiny either, he answers to others.
Felix lighter puts in an appearance. He dissuades Bond from taking direct action. He offers to subsidise his game. Something that the British treasury can’t
Its a lot different from the other Bond films, I have seen. The female lead gets a better role.Which is not bad. Its noticeable, that has the film progresses. The Vaunts.( Connery saying shocking as he kills someone by throwing an electrical appliance into the bath in an earlier film comes to mind. Dry up ) The last segment of the film, might have been from a rom com. Almost. I mean almost,
Bond is back. Its true to the Text,
