| Rating: B- “Will leave you shaken and stirred”. In Quantum of Solace, Daniel Craig has established himself as a great James Bond. If he continues to keep up the good work with his gritty and serious demeanor, he just may become everyone’s favorite Bond. This Bond movie is under the direction of Marc Foster, known for such films as Finding Neverland and Stranger Than Fiction. Even though he hasn’t touched action genre before, he proves that he is off to an extraordinary start as well.  Quantum of Solace picks up exactly where Casino Royale left off with James Bond searching for whose to blame for Vesper Lynd’s death, the woman he loved who was blackmailed by an organization to betray him. Full of vengeance, he has captured Mr. White and interrogates him to learn that this organization called Quantum is larger than imagined with agents even in MI-6 (the British Secret Intelligence Service).  Through his investigation, Bond is paired up with (Bond girl) Camille who has her own contention with the same villain, who is conspiring to take control of one of the world’s most important natural resources. If you haven’t already done so, you should definitely see Casino Royale before you check out Quantum so you can get a real sense of Bond’s vendetta here and the raw emotion he has that you just don’t get here with him. One-liners have trickled their way back, but with a little more subtleness.  Olga Kurylenko’s Camille is not the Bond girl you might expect and the villain isn’t as unique as in other Bond films, but the dynamic intensity of the film will indeed captivate its audience.  Quantum is darker and bloodier than the previous film and will leave you shaken and stirred. |
