James Bond is a Swiss army knife looking for revenge in the latest spy thriller Quantum of Solace.

Don’t fret if you haven’t seen its predecessor Casino Royale. There are movies we watch just for the thrill, Quantum of Solace is one of those films.

The plot is not impressive. It hinges on the badness of the bad guy, who in Quantum is a man by the name of Dominic Greenez (Mathieu Amalric). Almaric nails down the persona none gratis, and Bond is hellbent on delivering a spicy dish of retribution.

Olga Kurylenko is the Ukrainian born actress who does away with the phrase “revenge is a dish best served cold”. She plays Camille, who is in her own respect the “Bond Girl”, and you’ll have to wait until the plot thickens to see who she really is.

Just as in Casino Royale, Daniel Craig plays the real Bond, not the brooding panic stricken Bond, but the well balanced, soft spoken, in your face Bond. Quantum revolves around Craig’s charismatic portrayal of the ultra-high-defined new age rendering of 007.

Whatever you do, don’t go to the bathroom but keep your drink nearby, ready to sip imaginary martinis, shaken and not stirred, because you’re going to need some tranquil time-outs between the hair raising plot twists of Quantum. There is no possible way you can keep from wetting yourself anyway.

In all seriousness, this is the new age of Bond. He is going from License to Kill to “license to destroy your mind.’ This movie deserves an A+, but wait, it got my blood sugar levels in neutral on this one, two A’s, one for Bond, and one for keeping these kids off of the drugs!

Final Grade AA+
