As Sight and Sound expertly puts it ‘ This is a Bond that feeds on anxiety and is alive with inadequacies and flaws.
The James Bond of Casino Royale refuses to allow himself to be emotionally compromised, which has resulted in the character becoming incredibly hollow and isolated. The face of Daniel Craig drowning a man conveys the sheer brutality as equally as the regretful pain the character so desperately tries not to feel.
Never have I seen a performance where the actor physically represses his characters emotions so visibly. A duty to kill.ĭaniel Craig’s performance is phenomenal. Bond visibly blocks his inner emotions and sense of morality interfering with his perceived sense of duty.
