Bond is played by Daniel Craig in his rookie outing, and he is played, appropriately enough, as a rookie agent, or at least as one who has not yet been granted his iconic label, '007.' To ascend to that rank, we are told, requires two sanctioned kills-one, evidently, for each 'oh.' His first was the man who led him to the turncoat, and it was not a pretty one: Bond beat him bloodily before drowning him in the sink of a public restroom. One such occasion is the opening scene of Casino Royale, in which James Bond confronts a turncoat within British intelligence. Sometimes a film speaks most clearly in what it doesn't bother to say.
