Sure she does. What do you think, "You've got a bloody cheek" is about? She comprehends entirely well that Bond has broken into her house, but she gets sidetracked from that topic when Bond brings up the mission - which unleashes a tirade.I know that if I were her, the first thing that would've been said on my part when walking into the apartment would be to demand to know how Bond found out where I lived, yet M doesn't even comprehend the fact that Bond has broken into her house.
He's not a novice agent. He's been working with MI6 for eight years prior. The film doesn't establish that, but there is that track record. Still, the idea is rather ludicrous. That said, she doesn't conclusively know that he stole information from her computer - she thinks he was there just to meet her and talk to her, and then starts to wonder if he broke into use her computer.I also find it difficult to believe that a novice agent who has just "stormed into an embassy" and then subsequently broke the chain of command and broke into his boss' house to steal information from her computer would be allowed to continue working for the British government.
Actually, M tells him he's off the job, and to go "stick his head in the sand somewhere". It's very clear that she's seriously contemplating getting rid of him from the secret service, and I believe it's possible that she only re-evaluates that once his lead in Nassau comes through.The fact that Bond is not arrested is actually rather unbelievable, as he appears to be somewhat of a rogue agent who is allowed to do whatever he pleases without consequence.
Sure, but it's no more awkward/overwritten than M's speech in GOLDENEYE (actually, I'd argue it's less awkward/overwritten than that speech, and, at least in CASINO ROYALE Judi Dench isn't just slumming her way through the role). And really, it's possible you only see it as trailerish dialogue because it was actually used in a trailer, though I admit there's a lack of flow until she gets to the line about Bond going to stick his head in the sand somewhere. Still, all that dialogue is really brief, and far from any serious flaw.Everything after "And how did you find out where I lived" feels to me like trailer dialogue.
Well, obviously she's saying that she promoted him against some second sense judgment, and now she's regretting that choice. It's not that she actually knew that it wouldn't work, it's that she had a feeling that has now been confirmed by his actions.Everything before that is OK dialogue, but all that follows is what I'm referring to, with the "I knew it was too early to promote you" (then why was he promoted?)
