Bond, James Bond in the style of Bourne,Jason Bourne

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2008)

Quantum of Solace (2008) is the twenty second and counting bond production to date with the new bond Daniel Craig, in my own opinion this isn't a stand alone bond per Se but more of a companion piece to it's predecessor 'Casino Royale' where it pick's up moment's from where Casino Royale concluded, unfortunately my own nitpick's of the film is the absolutely terrible title 'song' another way to die 'sung' by Jack White and Alicia Keyes' they really should of stayed with first choice Amy Winehouse. gone is the traditional linear editing this makes it very unclear what is going on in the fight scenes but i guess it's realism is what the filmmaker's are going for or that they are trying to compete with the Bourne identity. the villain played by Matthieu amaracic who resembles Roman Polanski)who play's the villain Domnic Greene is more or less an unconventional choice which also remind's one of Louis Jordan in 'Octopussy' the obligatory Bond Girl Olga Kuryenko is simply a stunning addition to the series, expendable Gemma Atherton play's Agent Field's it is later revealed in the credit's ( her first name is strawberry) the late Roy Kinnear's son Rory make's a welcome addition to the series as an aid to 'M' Dame Judi Dench who like Casino Royale is given more to do. unfortunately with it's frenetic hand held photography and editing Quantum of Solace certainly deserves another viewing to fully appreciate it. all in all an entertaining companion piece to Casino Royale'
