WHAT'S IT ABOUT? Daniel Craig brutally bashes up a bunch of bad guys in the story of how Bond becomes 007.

ANY GOOD? After the last naff, CGI-bloated effort, the Bond franchise is back on track! This is the equivalent of the plain girl at school turning up looking like a supermodel. Casino Royale has it all: smart plot, great characters, brutal action!

WHICH MEANS: You should buy it on DVD and watch it over and over again until your pupils explode. Then look through the hole in the middle to recreate the famous title sequence!

FREEBIES: We've got 5 of these brilliant DVDs, courtesy of Sony Home Entertainment, to give away! Just email your details to webmaster.maxim@dennis.co.uk and we'll enter you into our giveaway draw. Closing date: 7 April 2007.
