ABOUT QUANTUM OF SOLACE
QUANTUM OF SOLACE continues the high octane adventures of James Bond 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 interrogate Mr White who reveals the organisation which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.
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.

SWEDEN’S FOREMOST FILM CRITIC RONNY SVENSSON COMMENTS:
"The latest Bond film picks up where CASINO ROYALE left off. After a dramatic car chase in serpentine roads follows a hearing with Mr. White who reveals the mysterious organization Quantum has ramifications in both MI6 and the CIA.
After revealing a colleague within the squad, the hot-blooded Bond tracks down the leads to Haiti where he comes into contact with the mysterious Camille. She leads him to Dominic Greene who seems to play an important role in Quantum. Greene does business with General Medrano. In exchange for state power Medrano agrees to give large areas of land to Greene who then gets an authority over the water, a far more important weapon than oil or gold. In the hunt for Greene, Bond goes through both enemies and friends. Rene Mathis as well as Felix Leiter appears in history, while M does not have the greatest confidence in her agent.
Marc Forster felt like a surprising choice as director for the new Bond film, but the question is whether the second-unit crew shouldn’t be the ones fully credited for all the robust action in QUANTUM OF SOLACE? It is a compact narrative story packed with all everyone want, lots of action and little dialogue. And, where its predecessor took almost two and a half hours to showcase the duel between Le Chiffre and Bond, this one rolls in at an hour and three quarters.
A Bond film must follow a certain template and the formulary can easily be filled in here:
• Exotic environments - check
• Beautiful and willing women - check
• Car chase - check
• Parkour - check
• Airplane chase - check
• Boat chase - check
• Double-cross play – check
• Suspicious superiors - check!”
