As much as I hoped that the followup would be as well-written and executed as the first, I was sadly disappointed. First off, by the time the main plot was revealed, it was already the end of the film. Secondly, there was no ending. In spite of these flaws, there were some upsides. The one factor that seemingly held this film together was the extra doses of adrenaline in the action scenes which "Casino" lacked. Craig proved once again that he is a capable Bond with no emotions and a tendency to kill anyone and everyone. I just wish there was more of a closure by the time the credits rolled but hey, that just calls for another sequel.
