Quantum of Solace -

"Quantum of Solace" continues the high octane adventures of James Bond (Daniel Craig) in "Casino Royale."

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.

Bummer! We need something like this. I just learned why Ian Fleming lived in the caribbean to get his inspiration by reading this true romance written by a Harvard Grad and real Romanian strippers 'Caribbean Dreams: TRUE STORY of an Ivy League Couple who Bought a STRIP CLUB in the Caribbean' www.caribbeanstripclub.com The Summer is better for Bond flicks!

Quantum was actually an appropriate name after all -- it is a Quantum waste of a Bond film!

Trust me, this latest version of Bond has none - zero - of the timing and reason of Casino Royale. Instead, it's a totally flavorless revenge flick, and I professionally rate it as the very worst Bond of all time -- hands down -- no contest.

First, the ridiculous exponentially inflated use of director Marc Forester's lame guerilla style editing is the worst blatent over compensation attempt to meet or beat his awesome first outing is enough to make a Blue Angel pilot! It is so bad, and so ridiulously overused, almost every action scene (which is almost the entirely bad film) leaves you midway asking yourself; the motive of the scene, where to look until an epileptic seizure commences, or, did the director ever review his terrible editing on a full size hundred foot screen as I saw it on tonight?!

Save your money, and rent it on Blu Ray! You'll save your money, time, and still keep that last good taste of Casino Royale, instead of what you ate before seeing such a horriffic and expensive mess of the easiest formula for success on the silver screen!
