What kind of watch this is
Martin Campbell directs, and Daniel Craig gets to prove he can actually die. The film is 144 minutes of a man walking into a room where everyone is lying, betting his life on a poker hand that decides who controls the world’s terror network. It is less about gadgets and more about the weight of a new beginning. The tagline promises a legend’s origin, and the movie delivers a bruised, bleeding start. If you expect a suave gentleman, you will be disappointed. If you want to see how the fall begins, this is the place.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes gives it 94% approval, a score that suggests the franchise finally stopped trying to be a toy shop. Metacritic lands on 80, which critics file under generally favorable. The consensus, as the site puts it, is that the film "disposes of the silliness and gadgetry that plagued recent James Bond outings." That is a high bar to clear, and it did. Roger Ebert gave it 4 out of 4 stars, noting that Craig makes a Bond who "gives the sense of a hard man, wounded by life." He also claimed the film answers his long-standing complaint about the lack of real emotion in the series. It is a bold take, but one that lands.
How it did with audiences
The film took in $606 million worldwide, a figure that secured its place as the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2006. In the UK, it held the top spot for the year, while in North America it briefly led the series before Quantum of Solace edged past it. Audiences on IMDb rate it 8.0 out of 10 as of February 2026. On TMDB, the user score stands at 7.6. The numbers suggest the audience voted with its wallet, and then with its stars.
What came next for the cast
Daniel Craig traded Road to Perdition for a franchise that eventually led to Knives Out. Mads Mikkelsen moved from Pusher to Doctor Strange. Eva Green shifted from The Dreamers to Dark Shadows. These are distinct trajectories, not a single cause. The credits list the work, not the reason for the shift. Sometimes a role just opens a door you did not know was there.
