Movie Info
A devastating betrayal sends James Bond from Australia to Italy and South America on a mission of vengeance that pits the suave super-spy against a powerful businessman with diabolical intentions. Betrayed by Vesper, 007 (Daniel Craig) suppresses the urge to make his latest mission personal as he teams with M (Judi Dench) to interrogate Mr. White (Jesper Christensen). It soon becomes apparent that the organization behind the blackmailing of Vesper is more powerful than Bond and M had previously

It's ironic: After all these years of surviving everything that has been thrown at him, James Bond is finally being undone by his own team.
Top CriticQuantum of Solace prompts the question: Is revenge the only possible motive for large-scale movie heroism these days?
Quantum of Solace is a model of mediocrity, even though Daniel Craig gives his all to a production that doesn't deserve him.
The Quantum of Solace filmmakers have produced a super-serious, often visually incoherent travelogue of revenge and trumped-up angst.
Forster, a director of upscale tearjerkers, has no feel for action sequences. The big chases, of which there are several, could all be replaced with a title card reading, 'Insert action here'.
Quantum of Solace is best when director Marc Forster allows his star the latitude to explore emotions that, until Craig stepped into the shoes of the character, we didn't know Bond had.
This time around, Bond's biggest adversaries are those behind the camera.
Never reaches the heights of Daniel Craig's first outing as 007, but it's enjoyable enough and continues the path of redeeming the franchise.
This may not make my list of Top 5 Bond films, but it's unfair to expect that every time. But, it's one hell of an action movie, and a "satisfying enough" Bond film.
At times, you feel you can see the character - and by proxy the writers - actually thinking, "So what now?"
Compared to the rest of the Bond series, Quantum Of Solace is something of an aberration (especially given the unorthodox ending) so it's just as well that Craig stays on target. He is, without doubt, the best Bond thus far.
Complain about the re-invention all you want, at least it doesn't feel like Benny Hill with a gun anymore.
This Bond -- number 22 if you're counting -- is ruthless, efficient, and tough as nails.
Turns out to be almost as bad as its title.
Quantum of Solace feels more like a competent second act than a stand-alone film.
Dismal and unexciting
I'm so turned off by this, I don't even have the energy to trash it. Why should I think of something clever to write? The authors clearly didn't see that as a mandate.
... Better than the average action movie and I'm still looking forward to future installments. But it falls well short of Casino Royale's greatness.
As an action movie, Quantum of Solace is solid, albeit nothing memorable. But this is James Bond.
If only [Bond] had a villain as self-reflective as Heath Ledger's Joker to ask 'Why so serious?'
No one wants to watch Bond chase after Osama Bin Laden and switch off his dialysis machine with a bad one liner. On second thought, maybe that would be great?
Listen to my radio review and montage of Bond clips.
the tougher, rougher version of Bond as incarnated by Daniel Craig is harder than ever; already a steely and unflappable man of action, he's now driven by anger and vengeance, which turns Craig's flinty blue eyes into razor-sharp ice chips and every actio
If it wasn't following such an excellent 21st Bond movie, it would be considered a big step forward. Instead, it'll settle for the more modest label of "another good one."
Quantum of Solace is the most obtuse title of the year. Maybe it means kick-a** action. If so, it's a very apt title. Don't be late arriving at the theater. The pre-opening credit sequence to Quantum of Solace goes just 15 seconds before the
(...) Dominic Greene es un antagonista anodino, cuya falta de escrúpulos está puesta en palabras pero jamás se siente como una verdadera amenaza, ni para Bond ni para nadie.
