This is like a Daniel Craig Bond movie with Pierce in it

This is the kind of gritty spy movie that we all wanted during Pierce's tenure as Bond but never got, outside of Goldeneye. Now here shows that he could have done Bond in that darker, yet more human light that Daniel Craig has perfected, and in some ways would have exceeded Craig's version in doing it. Craig has the angry, Bourne Identity-Bond down, but the refined martini-swilling suave womanizer side of Bond he seems to fall short in (Dalton had this same issue). Pierce naturally exudes that side, yet he can be an ice cold killer too like he does here. Too bad the producers of Bond rarely gave him a chance to play the Casino Royale Bond, since he could have played Bond that way well if he was allowed to.
