The Quantum of Solace (12A)


A continuation of the previous Bond film Casino Royale. It was very much an action film with very little story, but at least it did have a story. James Bond is angry at the death of Vesper, so he sets about finding the people who caused her to take her life! The film gets it title from the organisation behind Vesper's death 'The Quantum'. Like Casino Royale this was an original Bond film so there were no futuristic gadgets. There were moments during the film which I thought they had copied from the Bourne films, but on the whole I enjoyed it. The biggest let down of the film was the theme tune 'Another Way To Die' sung by Alicia Keys and Jack White. It was modern claptrap which will not go down as a classic Bond theme tune! Pictured are the two Bond girls, the one on the right of Daniel Craig recently starred in the BBC adaption of Tess of the D'Urbervilles.
