HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE CASINO ROYALE FROM IMDB

After receiving license to kill from the MI-6, the secret agent James Bond follows his leads and avoids the destruction of the greatest airplane in the world in Miami plotted by the evil banker Le Chiffre to crash the bonds in the stock market and break the air flight company. The banker loses the funds of international terrorist organizations and organizes a poker game in Casino Royale, in Montenegro, to raise the money of the investors. James Bond travels with the British accountant Vesper Lynd to bet and defeat La Chiffre and force him to look for protection with the MI-6, disclosing the names of the terrorists. James wins, but is double-crossed, in a game of betrayals and murders. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

James Bond goes on his first ever mission. Le Chiffre is a banker to the world's terrorists. He is participating in a poker game at Montenegro, where he must win back his money, in order to stay safe among the terrorist market. The boss of MI6, known simply as M sends Bond, along with Vesper Lynd to attend this game and prevent Le Chiffre from winning. Bond, using help from Felix Leiter, Mathis and having Vesper pose as his wife, enters the most important poker game in his already dangerous career. But if Bond defeats Le Chiffre, will he and Vesper Lynd remain safe? Written by simon

Casino Royale introduces James Bond before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to '00' status. Bond's first 007 mission takes him to Uganda where he is to spy on a terrorist, Mollaka. Not everything goes to plan and Bond decides to investigate, independently of MI6, in order to track down the rest of the terrorist cell. Following a lead to the Bahamas, he encounters Dimitrios and his girlfriend, Solange. He learns that Dimitrios is involved with Le Chiffre, banker to the world's terrorist organizations. Secret Service intelligence reveals that Le Chiffre is planning to raise money in a high-stakes poker game in Montenegro at Le Casino Royale. MI6 assigns 007 to play against him, knowing that if Le Chiffre loses, it will destroy his organization. 'M' places Bond under the watchful eye of the beguiling Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together and even torture at the hands of Le Chiffre. In Montenegro, Bond allies himself with Mathis MI6's local field agent, and Felix Leiter who is representing the interests of the CIA. The marathon game proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond blood money and reaching a terrifying climax. Written by Krafty

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE CASINO ROYALE FROM DVDTALK

The Movie:
Much fuss has been made about the latest James Bond action extravaganza Casino Royale "rebooting" the franchise. Daniel Craig steps in as the sixth star to officially play the role, and brings a decidedly grittier, rough and tumble interpretation to the character, in stark contrast to the suave pomposity of the Pierce Brosnan years. The movie takes a back-to-basics approach, stripping away a lot of the silly gadgets, diabolical madmen, and far-fetched world domination plots that have long been the hallmarks of the Bond formula. It's really quite an effective rejuvenation for a series that last tortured viewers with the abhorrent Die Another Day. And yet, to put things into perspective, any long-time fan will recognize that the Bond movies have always progressed in cycles, with each new actor causing their own reboot to bring the styles and tastes of their respective eras to this ever-evolving character. The flamboyant Roger Moore was every bit the right James Bond for the 1970s and early '80s as Sean Connery was for the '60s. Brosnan was a perfect fit for the new metrosexual Bond of the late 1990s, and now we have Daniel Craig putting his own spin on the role. For every generation, their own James Bond.

This certainly isn't the first time the series has course-corrected itself, either. The wretched excess of Moonraker (widely recognized as the very worst James Bond film, yet ironically also the most financially successful of its day) was followed immediately by the streamlined For Your Eyes Only, one of Roger Moore's better pictures. After the idiotic A View to a Kill, Moore retired and Timothy Dalton made the first attempt at a darker, edgier Bond in his two movies. By the '90s, Bond had been upstaged at his own game by imitators such as James Cameron's True Lies that managed to do everything a James Bond movie was supposed to do but bigger and better. In the wake of True Lies, EON Productions, the official gatekeepers of the Bond legacy, set forth to reinvent the series as mega-budget rollercoaster thrill ride with Goldeneye. It was a big hit and ushered forth three more films in a similar vein, each attempting to outdo the last with bigger stakes, bigger set pieces, and more expensive visual effects, until finally climaxing with the ridiculous spectacle of Die Another Day, the worst Bond movie since Moonraker. In recent years, Bond has once more found himself upstaged by an imitator, this time the Jason Bourne pictures starring Matt Damon as a smart, capable, and dangerous secret agent with a no-nonsense attitude. Learning their lesson, EON decided to reset the cycle again by recasting Bond in a similar light, giving us Daniel Craig as a particularly ruthless "blunt instrument", more assassin than spy, and lacking much of the debonair sophistication we associate with the character. When asked if he wants his martini shaken or stirred, this new Bond responds, "Do I look like a man who gives a damn?"

For a movie series so far 21 entries strong, James Bond has always had a shaky sense of continuity. Only on rare occasions would a new movie reference prior events, supporting actors are routinely reused in different roles, and of course Bond himself remains ever changing and ever young. But even so there was always the assumption, with a wink and a nudge perhaps, that each of these movies was in fact a direct sequel to the last and that we were watching the same James Bond in Die Another Day that had lived through the adventures of Dr. No, as screwy as that timeline may seem. Casino Royale is the first Bond picture to officially break that continuity, set in the present day yet offering us a young James Bond on his first mission as a licensed Double-0 agent. The excuse for this is that Casino Royale was actually the first of Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels, but the one whose rights had resided outside of EON's grasp until recently. Previously adapted to film in 1967 as a psychedelic comedy spoof starring David Niven (as Bond) and Woody Allen (as his nephew Jimmy Bond), the title was always the black sheep of the Bond legacy but, with its rights finally falling to EON's control, now came the opportunity to adapt it properly. Much to-do was raised in the publicity surrounding the picture of its supposedly "faithfulness" to the Fleming source, but to be honest it's no more faithful to Fleming than any of the previous Bond movies have been, which is to say hardly at all. The Bond of Fleming's Casino Royale was a gentleman spy, not the bruiser that Craig portrays him as, and certainly not a man who would ever deign to play Texas Hold 'Em poker. The novel was set almost entirely in its title location, and served practically as an instruction manual for how to play baccarat, with just a smidge of espionage thrown in for color. To my recollection, the novel had no car crashes, explosions, chase scenes, or imploding buildings. But you can't really make a $150 million James Bond movie today without those things, so thus we have a hybrid that follows the sketch of Fleming's plot with the details filled in by the trappings a modern audience expects from a Bond film.
