Latino Review has the "Casino Royale" script and given it the once over. Here's a look at their review of James Bond - reborn:
"The script is really cool. An origin story. For starters the story is contemporized. The story does not take place during the cold war. The first four pages before the main title sequence shows us how James Bond got his double O ranking - his first two kills of MI6 Section Chief Dryden (for selling secrets) and Dryden's contact in Pakistan.
For those of you fanatics who must know and I am going to say it here - yes - the carpet beater scene is in here. Very painful to read. For those of you who didn't read the novel - James Bond is tortured and they go to work on a body part only men have. Ouch! The filmmakers have balls (no pun intended) to include this. Kudos to Campbell and Haggis for keeping it in there.
This story shows us why James Bond is the way he is, the chip on his shoulder, and the origins of the super secret agent to be. For sure, the edgiest of the Bond films because this is Bond at his most edgy. For sure, the Bond that Fleming intended and the fans have clamored to see. Overall, a fantastic read and quite the origin story although contemporized, which may piss off some fans but for me the story works because the cold war is over after all. I have a feeling that if Ian Fleming were alive, he would contemporize the story also to go with today's times".
