Quantum of solace

Quantum of Solace

Everyone thinks this is a Bond movie..its not. Its a movie about James not about Bond.The movie is a high paced action flick about agent 007 and his fight to uncover and destroy a powerful and secretive organization called the Quantum. There are car chases, fight sequences, blood, violence, deaths, betrayal...the whole lot. Yet..it does not feel like a Bond movie. Why? I asked my friends the same question..what did you expect from the movie? Gadgets, guns & girls...and Quantum misses out on all of these...there are no fancy gadgets that are the trademeark of Bond movies. Same is the case with weapons technology. Olga tries to do justice to the Bond girl tag but doesnt quite accomplish it.

So whats good about the movie if at all? Like i said in the very first line...the movie is about James the person and not about Bond the agent. Daniel Craig brings the human side of James Bond to the forefront and lets the sauve agent side take a backseat. Judi Dench is brilliant as usual. The action sequences though a little in the category of Rajnikanth-meets-Die-Hard are impressive.

Watch this one to discover more about the character of the agent 007...
