There are numerous fight scenes, shootouts, and hand-to-hand combat sequences. Some of us prefer our Bonds the opposite of a martini - stirred but not shaken.“Casino Royale” contains intense and frequent violence, which is a staple of the James Bond franchise. Let's hope the next installment tones down the fury just a tad. There's even a cheesy opening credit sequence featuring Jack White and Alicia Keys' entry in the Bond flick theme song playlist, 'Another Way to Die.' But stock Bond elements aside, Craig's James seethes in a way that none of the earlier Bonds did, and after a while, it's actually a downer. Like all decent films in the 007 canon, Quantum of Solace has a heavy dose of explosive action, several humorous one-liners, and lots of horsepower - although sadly, the signature Aston Martin gets trashed in the first car chase. They're both angry and searching for the kind of closure that only a gun can bring.

Some of his best scenes are opposite Kurylenko, whose Camille is also looking to settle a personal score with the Bolivian general negotiating with Greene. But Craig's 007 isn't so much an unattached ladykiller as he is a tortured man willing to kill without much of a second thought. That doesn't mean he won't casually jump into bed with red-headed MI6 beauty Strawberry Fields ( Gemma Arterton). This Bond bleeds real blood, shows off a body full of scars, and feels deeply about Vesper's death.

Product placements are mostly cars, like Bond's signature Aston Martin, and language is relatively minimal ('s-t' and 'bastard'). There are a couple of passionate kisses and one scene that obviously takes place after Bond and a woman have had sex (her bare shoulders and back are shown, and he's shirtless). A liked character dies, a woman is tortured (off camera) in a particularly cruel manner, and dozens of characters die in explosions or shootouts.

The violence includes knife fights, gun fights, fist fights, and fire fights. Unlike his predecessors, who barely broke a sweat while sipping their precious martinis, Craig's 007 bleeds real blood and gets into dirty, bare-knuckle, hand-to-hand fights. Parents need to know that the second James Bond adventure starring Daniel Craig is, like 2006's Casino Royale, full of non-stop action sequences and has a darker, grittier tone than earlier Bond films.
