Curiosità:

This is only the second time that an M character's home has been shown in an official EON Productions James Bond film. The first was in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969). The unofficial James Bond film, the comedy spoof Casino Royale (1967) also showed M's home.

Errori:

Erroneamente ritenuti come errori: Originally it is believed that in the final poker hand with all 4 players all in there's a mistake, because the total amount Bond wins is 120 million. Player 1 goes all inn with 6, Player 2 goes all inn with 5, leaving approximately 109 million. Bond goes all inn with 40.5 million which means he can only win 40.5 million from Le Chiffre. Le Chiffre would still have 120 (- 6 - 5 - 40.5 - 40.5) - 92 = 28 million left. It is claimed that the game would not be over. However, review of the actual scenes and Mathis' statement that there is 115 million in the final pot actually reveals that Bond was likely a chip leader and that someone (Felix Leiter, who staked Bond's re-buy) did not buy back in, and that the full potential of $120m would not be seen on the table. It starts with $24m in the pot (a quote from Mathis), to which Fukutu adds $6m and Ade adds $5m. The pot is now $35m. Le Chiffre adds $12m, raising the pot to $47m. A count of Bond's chips shows that he has 26 $1m blue chips, 7 20-chip stacks of $100,000 chips, and 1 $500,000 chip, making his total $40,500,000. When he goes all-in, that raises the pot to $87.5m. That means Le Chiffre needs to add $28.5m to match Bond's raise. He has 20 $1m blue chips, 13 $500,000 chips, 4 $100,000 chips in his hand, one $100,000 chip on his cards, and 5 $100,000 chips sitting away from his neater stacks, giving him $27.5m. When Le Chiffre goes all-in with $27.5m, that brings the pot to $115m, which Mathis points out.

Citazioni:

[first lines]
James Bond: M really doesn't mind you earning a little money on the side, Dryden. She'd just prefer it if it wasn't selling secrets.

Welcome back...

There is only one movie franchise that has twisted, turned and reinvented itself on so many occasions...

007 has unfortunately dwindled more than it has bedazzled over the last decades but I am relieved to see that Martin Campbell has put the edge back into the Bond series.

The originally unpopular Craig grinds through this action packed feature with ease and in my opinion proves all of his doubters (including me) very very wrong..

At last we have another true Bond.. Sharp, sophisticated and as tough as nails... And perhaps correctly more shaken than stirred.

Welcome back 007... Welcome back.
