  Has anyone seen DC in Flashbacks of a Fool. Was released last year filmed in between CR and QoS. DC was co-exec producer and acted in lead.
  
  Thought it was strong character role but definitely non-Bond - had great acting - but introspective.
  
  For the ladies tho...if you thought DC stripping down to his cossies in Bahamas in CR was something...us guys had to put up with DC starkers in this one (cover your eyes....)

  
  Whenever I watch Daniel Craig I just see Bond now. I thought he had a good performance, but the story line was quite weak.

  Agree about story line..wanted more to happen rather than DC just writing a cheque to "pay off" his conscience at end of movie.
  
  UR right about DC been Bond...did you see the way he walked in the movie..that DC/Bond swagger that absolutely no-one else does in movies...real killer.

  However I do not see Bond indulging in intense sexual, drug accompanied debauchery.[Starting scenes of the film].

  I saw it and thought it had so much more potential than was actually delivered.
  
  I know this project was close to Daniels heart as it was his best friend who wrote the screen play. I thought the locations for the earlier years stunning (South Africa) and I can see why they chose that location.
  
  However, the ending was weak. It was a shame, as they developed the back story well, but it fell short for it's conclusion.
  
  However I did like the scene when

  he handed her the cheque and she was then finally able to cry...

  and I did come away from the movie theatre with whispers of the film still underneath my skin (always a good sign) but I can empathise with those less enamoured with the story line.

  Hi Lexi
  Agree with your spoiler comment...liked that also...great touch...and the awkardness DC felt at the cemetary when meeting his old flame again...there are many great acting touches from DC throughout the movie...acting with restraint..
