Very fine movie. Made me think alot of Wages of Fear really. Mainly in the sections of prolonged intentionally ongoing tension. Nowhere near as good as Wages but still formidable. The scenarios were exciting and I liked that anyone remotely famous was barely in the movie. I didn't really look for any kind of political message or agenda, I just looked at it as a straight up middle-eastern war thriller, and that was fine enough.
Decent picture, Casino Royale was the better effort though I think. The film had plenty of interesting action sequences, though some were really annoyingly edited and are hardly inventive or original. Craig plays Bond interestingly coldly which is a neat change and it's fun to watch how absolutely unconcerned with everything he is. Craig's Bond couldn't be any more inverted from the tongue in cheek Bond we typically know. But it has some shortcomings, a moderately (and uninteresting) presented villain, average Bond girl, jagged plot, among other things, but ultimately still watchable without leaving a bad taste in the mouth.
