Plot
Quantum of Solace has Bond (Danial Craig) chasing down his girlfriend's (Vesper's) killer from the end of Casino Royale. It starts with a fast car chase with Quantum agents, and we soon learn that Quantum is tied up in Vesper's death. Bond chases down Quantum perhaps to help the British government and perhaps just for revenge. Along the way he meets Camile (Olga Kurylenko), who has a vengence scheme of her own. Camile and James go to Boliva, and save the government.

Review
This is a fresh new take on the Bond formula, and I like it. The action is faster, and the action is intercut with other scenes to tighten the emotion. The plot is harder to follow, and the audience needs to pay attention to catch all the plot twists.

I liked the entire movie, and half way though I was saying that I want to see it again.

The campy Bond gadgets are gone, along with Moneypenny, Q, and there was only one flirty floosie in the film.

The United States is shown as unprincipled and corrupt. This is the poorest depiction of the American Government in the series. No doubt this is a reflection on the Bush Administration.

Bond's "Vesper" Martini is in the movie:
3 oz gin
1 oz vodka
1/2 oz Lillet® Blanc wine
Twist of lemon peel
But I don't think I'd like it.
