If this is "truth" - then we are in big trouble

I suppose I shouldn't complain - it's not like I wasn't warned that it was going to be ugly.
I thought about walking out - but really wanted to believe the film would redeem itself. Seemed like it wanted to (the nephew character, the implied broken heart behind GB's character)...after the first 15 minutes - I'm not sure there's a way to redeem this kind of story.
I can see the pitch meeting in my head: it's Hitch in reverse... it's Someone Like You crossed with When Harry Met Sally and Cyrano De Bergerac (or the 20-year old movie rendition of it: Roxanne w/Steve Martin & Darryl Hannah).
What bothers me most is the idea that people will take the message too much to heart.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Simply Brilliant - the Bond of the Century!

Daniel Craig embodies the best of Bond's foibles & faults - with more of that rogish charm than any one man should be allowed. He's not always smooth- he's definitely not perfect or glossy... but raw, wounded, perhaps a bit broken and seriously ticked off. Craig is clearly a force to be reckoned with & plays every nuance flawlessly.
I'm picky about my 007's [Dalton & the 'kinder, gentler, more PC Bond was a failed exercise, & Roger Moore was about as suave as an elephant at a tea party] - but Craig is moving up in the ranks with each effort. (Sorry, Pierce...). He's a Bond for the ages - Ian Fleming would be proud.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
