"Quantum of Solace"


"Quantum of Solace" is the 22nd James Bond film, and is the direct sequel to the film "Casino Royale." Directed by Marc Forster, it features Daniel Craig's second performance as James Bond fighting wealthy businessman played by the awesome Mathieu Amalric playing an environmentalist intent on a coup d'état in Bolivia to seize control of the nation's water supply. This part reminds me of "Chinatown."

Bond also seeks revenge for the death of his lover played by the beautiful Eva Green, and partners with Olga Kurylenko who is also seeking revenge for the death of her parents. Paul Haggis, Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, and Joshua Zetumer contributed to the script.

I've watched this film several times and really enjoy the performances, the depth of character in Bond and M's relationship, the opening theme song by Jack White of The White Stripes and Alicia Keys, and the complexity of editing, the camera moves and set design.

I like this film a lot.
