" America will sleep with any nation, if it gets it's share of the world"

Rating: 9/10 (30 May 2009)

If a James Bond action film is what you are looking for, Wow! Are you in for a roller-coaster ride of a movie. This film " Quantum of Solace " is nearly impossible to let go even for a second. From the on-set of the film, the action will rocket you from the hi-lands of the Incas, out into the hot barren deserts of Peru. Everywhere our intrepid British spy seems to be on a hunt for those responsible for his former girlfriend's murder. Easily snared by this highly charged movie, the audience is sent careening around narrow mountain passes, through heavy congested traffic, in and around small tunnels and out into the harbor near the sea. Everywhere Bond travels the movie promises to leave you gasping from excitement. The incredible fight scenes between Bond and his enemies which includes a ' 00 ' man and main adversary Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric) can only be described as a sheer adrenalin rush. While James Bond (Daniel Craig)seeks his girlfriend's murderer, MI-5 seeks the would-be assassins of 'M' (Judi Dench) and the tie-in with America's CIA. The cast which was so well crafted in Casino Royal is reassembled to include, Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter and Giancarlo Giannini (René Mathis). Another special notice one should look for is the updated use of the super computers used in the dispelling of information. It's very effective and impressive to say the least. Pay close attention to the plot line as there is so much action, it's easy to forget there is one. Great film! ****
