Our take on Quantum of Solace

Marc Forster's 2008 entry picks up moments after Casino Royale, following a wounded, vengeful 007. Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, Bond fights the urge to make his mission personal as he and M interrogate Mr. White and learn that the organization that blackmailed her is far larger and more dangerous than they had imagined. Forster favors terse, rapid-fire action and a brooding mood over gadgetry and quips, giving Bond a rawer, grief-driven edge. It suits viewers who want a lean, propulsive thriller and a darker Bond preoccupied with loss and payback, and works best watched right after its predecessor as the second half of a single story.
