Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M (Judi Dench) interrogate Mr White (Jesper Christensen) who reveals the organisation which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.

Forensic intelligence links an Mi6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where a case of mistaken identity introduces Bond to the beautiful but feisty Camille (Olga Kurylenko), a woman who has her own vendetta. Camille leads Bond straight to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), a ruthless business man and major force within the mysterious organisation.

On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take total control of one of the world's most important natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano (Joaquin Cosio). Using his associates in the organisation, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the General control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land.

In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth. As he gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal of Vesper, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene's sinister plan and stop his organisation.

Obviously Daniel Craig is doing a totally different Bond, we hardly see a “Tuxedo Bond” here, but a wounded man in rags for most of the time. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves that this is a 007 movie.
The theme song is quite attractive though.

Another action film with a confusing plot. Not very spectacular. The scenes were too expected even though the action was good. I would say the movie was too safe and it made it a little boring.

Acclaimed director Marc Forster & Oscar-winning writer Paul Haggis teams up for a follow-up to Casino Royale. The result’s a stunning letdown. One action sequence after another w/o a hint of character development makes this a shallow film experience.

The true spirit of James Bond is gone. But Quantum of Solace is still a solid film with breathtaking action sequences. It will please those who wish to see metal crashing, bullet wizzing and booming explosion. It’s not about plot, it’s about action.
