Cold Killer Replaces Ad Man as Bond

This is the gritty Bond we were promised in Casion Royale and didn't get. Craig's Bond is not a nice guy : steely eyed, silent and murderous, he's more of an Eastwood-style hero than the cheeky playboy of the Brosnan years.
Which is to say, he's a believable spy in a world where government officials exploit the weak and the CIA supports violent dictators.
Bond purists who like comic-booky action will be disappointed. Borne Identity fans will think it's a step in the right direction.
