British actor Daniel Craig made his debut as James Bond in this revelatory and ridiculously fun instalment of the indefatigable franchise. His 007 has just as much wit as grit, and his repartee with Judi Dench’s M provides welcome levity amid all the po-faced poker-playing and explosive set pieces.
