Casino Royale (2006)

Corrected entry: Why did Bond's female assistant refuse to give him another $5 million after he lost the first $10 million? I thought she would do anything to save her kidnapped boyfriend.

Correction: This is a question, not a mistake - please remember there is a separate area for addressing questions. As for Vesper "doing anything to save her boyfriend", this is never stated anywhere in the film, and it seems entirely in character for her to refuse to provide Bond with additional funds when she's convinced that he's too reckless not to lose it to Le Chiffre and give the terrorists even more money.

Correction: Le Chiffre winning was actually the best outcome possible for Vesper. If he already has all the money, then she is not needed to make the transfer, and then she doesn't need to follow up with having to betray Bond (and her country), while Le Chiffre's need to hold her boyfriend as a bargaining chip become a moot point.
