Another Bond movie. The first in sequence. A new Bond, and Daniel Craig is good. So is the title sequence. The first chase sequence is great, though a bit too actiony. Too much emphasis on a card game and without much logic. Far too much emphasis on the use of cell phones to sniff out people. In this movie it becomes a substitute to all the typical gadgets which are conspicuous by their absence. The cell phone use is logical, but not novel at all. If you leave out these ingredients, not much is left in the movie. Venice seems to dissect the movie in to two parts. That lull is long enough to make you believe in the first part that may be the movie is over, and then it goes on for so long that you know that it can not be over. It could have been done differently. You come out feeling you have seen a good movie, but not a great one. M is good.
