It is obvious that no one gave the slightest thought to creating a genuine spy film and instead approached the film with a devil-may-care attitude. To this end, the untold number of writers and directors involved have opted to take the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach to storytelling, mixed with a cut-and-paste style of editing. The film was intended to be the ultimate spy spoof, an attempt to out-Bond the James Bond movies and their innumerable imitators.
What should stink of embarrassing desperation, instead proves to cheerfully insane, unpredictable and remarkably free of common sense.
It is a wonderfully weird, bold, funny and incoherent mess of a movie. CASINO ROYALE is one of the truly great bad movies of all time.
