Quantum Of Solace

I struggled as to how best review this movie.

On one hand it is a pretty decent action movie that opens with a car chase quite possibly designed to be used as some form of bizarre foreplay.

On the other hand it is now the third in a series of movies starring James Bond but not actually being a Bond movie, kind of like Never Say Never Again.

All my gripes about this latest Bond offering are best summed up in the cartoon below...



You can plainly see where the film makers have taken their inspiration from.

It also feels very much like a middle film, lacking anything remotely like a satisfying ending. The acting is good, the story is largely solid and it is a well put together movie.

Overall I'd say that you will enjoy most of Quantum of Solace, just don't expect to have your world rocked.

Rating: B
