Quantum of Solace


I had heard rotten things about this Bond film, confusing plot and action sequences. But when it turned up in the library for free I figured some Daniel Craig eye candy was worth being annoyed through nonsense. Oh so wrong, it is a great film with awesome action and an entertaining story. Marc Forster can totally direct action sequences and he makes Bond a bit more human (at least for a guy who kills when needed). I loved how Forster let the camera drift back to a semi-non-consequential object in the middle of a big sequence. He kept giving it the same sense of place that he brought to Stranger Than Fiction. Ultimately isn’t that what the Bond stories are: stranger than fiction making Forster the right director for this material.
Memorable moment: That amazing table top computer.
