Following hot on the heels of the box office smash Casino Royale, which was a most welcome return to form for James Bond (Craig in this incarnation), Quantum of Solace picks up right where its predecessor left off (the first of 22 Bond flicks to do so). James Bond is a jilted man, bent on revenge for the death of a double agent who had stolen his heart. As this desire becomes at odds with his duty to Queen and country, Bond breaks away from the control, and resources, of MI6 to expose a secret organisation bent on their own form of world domination, QUANTUM.

Teaming up with a rogue South American agent, Camille (Kurylenko), the pair expose one of QUANTUM's many cogs, a supposed environmental crusader named Dominic Greene (Amalric), who is using his "green" image to hide the fact he is looting the resources of third world countries.

Quantum of Solace is a tight, action-packed Bond film. Running shorter than any of the EON Bond films before it, the story and action are lean and to the point. Some have criticised the look of the action being a little too in line with that of the recent Jason Bourne movies, but any complaints about the style of the action are easily outweighed by the style of Daniel Craig as James Bond. Craig brings a charm and charisma that the screen had lacked for years prior to Casino Royale. Quantum of Solace is one not to miss.
