“If you could avoid killing every possible lead, it would be greatly appreciated.” I think that this line spoken by M (Judi Dench) to Bond (Daniel Craig) explains this movie very well. Daniel Craig’s Bond is as brutal and cold as that man’s piercing eyes. The movie itself is lightning fast and blazingly furious (FYI: Fast and Furious is the fourth installment of The Fast and the Furious series, and is coming out in 2009. Seriously, the movie makers can’t come up with a better title than Fast and Furious? What, was Faster and Furi-er taken already or something?). Back to Bond, this flick takes place right where Casino Royale ended and takes off from there. It doesn’t disappoint the audience members craving some out of control crazy action. Within the first 20 minutes of the flick there were two car chases, a foot race, a knife fight, and lots of fists fights thrown in there, and almost needless to say, lots of people dying.
Bond and his gal pal Camille (Olga Kurylenko) are driven by revenge in Quantum of Solace, battling their way across the globe all the while looking just smashing. They are both seeking out particular baddies for very different reasons. This movie is action packed; however, I didn’t feel like there was any kind of suspense. We all know that James Bond is not going to die. That would just be silly, so you just wait patiently until Bond kills everyone he sets out to kill. And kill them he does. Bwahaha!
Time until the action gets started: ~ 30 seconds. Not even friggin’ kidding. It’s a James Bond movie, after all.
Guys getting killed (Bad guys): Secret world wide organization of baddies, also (probably) known as Quantum.
Best Line: “When people say they have people everywhere, you expect that to be a hyperbole…not that they have someone working for them in the same bloody room.” -M
Best Kill: Of course Bond has a lot of good kills, and almost everyone he touches dies, but the best kill award for this flick will have to go to his lovely sidekick, Camille. She goes one on one with a big bad military badguy. He is trying to rape and torture her, so he uber had it coming. First she leans in and bites his face. Then she eye gouges him. They fight around and glass ends up getting broken. The guy is standing over her when she grabs a slice of glass and cuts his leg. Then she swings and cuts his arm then stabs him in the back. As if that wasn’t enough, she shoots him and finally puts him down.
Best Explosion: Bond is flying an airplane with Camille. They are being chased by other guys in air planes. Bond’s plane is about to go down from being shot up. They both parachute out of the plane just as it crashes into some cliffs, making a massive explosion.
Rating: 4 ½ tasty cans of motor oil, out of 5
