James (Daniel Craig) gets a rough start at his new position in the spy business, making all kinds of brutish, testosterone-driven choices and ego motivated mistakes.
It’s a gritty beginning to a gritty film, but it sets an exciting pace that doesn’t stop until the credits begin to roll. The movie opens with Bond fulfilling his final requirement to be considered for Double-O agent status: two kills in the line of duty (apparently you have to kill a few times before you can be issued the license). Bond has done the same and this cinematic breath of fresh air is sweeter than Moneypenny’s perfume. Superman returned and Batman began again. This seems to be the time for re-inventions and fresh starts.
