Bond is back, and he’s pissed. His lover has been killed, MI6 has been infiltrated by a spy, and someone had the audacity to shoot Judi Dench. Bond is on a mission, that he adamantly swears isn’t vengeful, to figure out who is responsible and what their evil plan is. This takes Bond from Italy, to Haiti, to Bolivia as he uncovers a plan to stage a coup in Bolivia and an even secreter plan to control the country’s limited water supply.
This film started off strong enough. It had all the signature clever action sequences, and a couple smokin’ hot Bond girls, but ultimately the ending of this movie dragged too much to hold my attention. I am admittedly not an action movie person, so if you are maybe you’ll enjoy this movie more than I did. But this movie is only an hour and 45 minutes and I still found myself praying for it to end.
Overall, the movie is fine? I almost liked it? But it didn’t quite entertain me enough to get a higher rating.

Quantum of Solace is a boring installment in the 007 series.
