Because sometimes, you fall asleep watching a mediocre rental, and would rather return it on time than pay two more bucks just to see the end.

Because sometimes, your TiVo timer didn’t get it quite right, and cut off the crucial final minutes of something that won’t get shown again for six months.

Because sometimes, you’re not interested in seeing that movie everyone’s talking about but are dying to know what the hubbub is about anyway.

Because sometimes, you vaguely remember an old movie that had some sort of plot twist at the end of it, but can’t remember what it was.

Because sometimes, the surprise “spoiler” ending is the only reason you’d pay $11 to see what is otherwise a turkey of a film.

James tracks down the man who was blackmailing her and after shooting him but leaving him alive for the moment, he introduces himself as “Bond, James Bond” for the first time. M informs a bitter James that Vesper must have made a deal with the men who left him alive to give them all the money in exchange for his life. James follows her and during the ensuing gun battle with the men she gives the money to, she lets herself drown. Only it turns out that she was being blackmailed from the start (boyfriend being held captive) and she steals the money from the poker match. Bond’s life is unexpectedly spared when one of Le Chiffre’s clients comes and kills him, leaving Bond alive.īond decides to retire while he still has a soul and as he and Vesper are in love, he resigns and decides to leave with her. Le Chiffre has Vesper Lynn (Eva Green) kidnapped and then captures Bond too, torturing him.

This was done so that Le Chiffre would be forced to accept immunity and help from MI-6 in exchange for his information. Newly assigned to 00 status, James Bond (Daniel Craig) beats Le Chiffre at the high-stakes poker match, thus robbing him of the funds he needs to pay back the terrorists whose money he has lost.
