Sometimes I can't get that coastguard hellicopter scene out of my head, Bond goes along, this mega agent, who's useful to have around is a observer, which I find is a great thing for that we normally expect Bond in the action, but he's not in it straight away, and he's sat back to look on, especially when I saw the film widescreen many months ago for the first time, I saw shots of Bond I never saw on full screen versions, and you see Bond still on the helicopter as felix and DEA run on. Sometimes less is more, although Bond is not doing nothing, Dalton gives it that depth, no jokes, just acceptance a mega agent in the background is waiting to get into the action. And the villian Sanchez equally gets his main scene whipping, the constrasting styles of mirror image villian of Bond and Dalton work well, in the most flemming pre-title sequence of seeing Bond on screen, And Dalton and Davi reading up on Casino Royale to perfect their characters. Dalton made a huge impression as Bond, and it's not fading, new fans not seeing Bond will discover him all the new, and be interesting to hear more.
