Quantum of Solace

2008
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/Columbia Pictures
PG-13
[star.gif][star.gif][star.gif]1/2

Picking up where CASINO ROYALE left off (which has never happened in Bond films before), James Bond (Daniel Craig) has captured an associate of Le Chiffre's, Mr. White (Jesper Christensen), and is now involved in saving Bolivia's water supply from finance interest Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric). Camille Montes (Olga Kurylenko) aids him as she shares a vengeance issue as he does, but now M (Judi Dench) has lost trust with him.
Though the script may not be that witty as its predecessor, this is a fast-paced, humorous, and action-packed fun thrill ride for action fans, and Bond fans will not be disappointed. Still, in a clear sense, CASINO ROYALE was better.
