This was Craig’s fifth and final clamber up the James Bond tree, and if we are being honest the strain was starting to show, a bit. The film itself never quite lives up to the barnstorming opening in which Craig joins efforts to stop an out-of-control balloon, but his controlled performance suits his character. Here he is essentially a more buff version of Ian McEwan in the Roger Michell-directed adaptation of McEwan’s stalker-thriller. Enduring Love (2004)Ĭraig’s honeyed, soft-spoken tones and donnish frown has allowed him to develop a nice sideline in academics and intellectual types. Craig isn’t required to do much more than stride around purposefully in his 007 tux, but the little cough he gives to attract the Queen’s attention is an acting masterclass in itself. Not strictly speaking a film, or even a performance, but Craig’s comedy skit with the Queen was the climax to the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony, suggesting that HM parachuted into the stadium from a helicopter.
