A sensational action film in the purest sense of the genre, the 2006 version of the famed British spy has been overhauled and deconstructed, returning to author Ian Fleming's original concept for the M16 agent.

I went into Casino Royale a skeptic, and, like Fleming after seeing Connery, I came away a believer. (2-Disc Widescreen Edition)

Craig took a ton of heat for being one that fans figured wouldn't be very good at all for the series. They are totally wrong as CASINO ROYALE is a fabulous installment of the Bond series with a telling of how Bond became the super agent he is today.

The 2 disc DVD includes some fun features, such as Becoming Bond, in which Craig talks about choosing his swimming trunks for his erotic water scene, and updated version of the AMC special Bond Girls, in which femmes of the franchise discuss their roles.
