However, I cannot get around Le Chiffre's line regarding Mathis. I believe he will be found innocent and was annoyed with the ambiguity on this point.

White says something to the Ugandans along the lines of, 'We found him for you, but the choice to use him is yours.' At the end of the day, the money Le Chiffre lost belonged to White's group (who were bankrolling the Ugandans among others) so to White he was both a thief and and embarrassment. I'm not sure Le Chiffre technically worked for White's group, but he certainly was their banker of choice. I'm guessing (hoping, actually) that Bond doesn't kill White, but rather 'sweats' him for info that he will use to track down the true bigwigs of 'The Organization' in Bond 22. I did find the ending to be open-ended, and loved it precisely for that reason. White's group and that he is as dead as dead can get. Maybe we'll get the same sort of treatment in B22?Īs for Mathis, I was annoyed by Bond's insistence that he be futher 'sweated,' but I'm sure he'll be found innocent and where Le Chiffre is concerned, I'm pretty sure he worked for Mr. No, and it wasn't until FRWL that the agency was fleshed out.

White's agency is left open, but this didn't bother me at all-SPECTRE received only a brief mention in Dr.

White down at the end, I felt it essentially ended the movie: Bond gets the baddie and the money. White was seen to take the money from the collapsing building (I don't think the suitcase floated away) and make his escape, I initially thought that would be the last we'd see of him and that he might emerge as the main villain in Bond 22. I honestly didn't find the ending to be as 'open-ended' as some have charged.
