Best Bond Film

Rating: 9/10 (3 May 2015)

Continuing straight on from the moment Bond shoots Mr. White in the leg and reveals his identity, Quantum Of Solace perfectly continues from Casino Royale delivering action by the tonne and closing off the answers from Craig's first 007 outing. With Vesper dead and the only lead escaped, Bond must track down and eliminate the mysterious Quantum organisation that is after the world's most precious resource, whilst teaming up with the feisty Camille who has an agenda of her own. Marc Forster's direction is excellent, who would've thought that fast cut action sequences would suit a Bond movie? Well they certainly do, the opening is one of the most fast and gripping car chases I've ever seen, as Bond evades gunmen along Lake Garda in Italy. Daniel Craig gives his best performance as Bond, this time more of a renegade and a loose cannon, and I like that, it provides 'M' with a mission of her own trying to control her own agent, and Judi Dench is on fine form yet again. Olga Kurylenko is by far the finest Bond girl since Ursula Andress, starring as Camille Montes who joins up with Bond going after the ruthless Dominic Greene played by Mathieu Amalric whose suitably sinister performances stirs suspicion.
Would I watch it again? Without a doubt, this addition remains in my top five Bond movies alongside From Russia With Love, A View To A Kill, For Your Eyes Only and Goldeneye thanks to great storytelling, knockout action, beautiful cinematography and all pitch perfect performances and a fitting soundtrack.
