He may not be the consummate professional that Sean Connery was or half the pussy-hound Roger Moore was, but Craig brings a ruthless, modern sensibility, along with a surplus of steel-eyed charisma. When he enters an extremely high-stakes ($10 million buy-in) winner-take-all Texas Hold ‘Em tournament in Montenegro, we fully expect him to win.Ġ07 does win, of course, but the tension throughout makes for the greatest poker scene in film history, bar none.įirst of all, Daniel Craig is by far the most badass Bond in the franchise’s history.
Not only that, but we expect him to be good at everything. Fighting, killing, running, jumping, driving, fucking-everything. Much of James Bond’s half-century appeal is the fact that he is good at everything.
