A quantum of entertainment

Quantum of Solace (2008)

Directed by Marc Forster this 22nd entry in the Bond franchise stars Daniel Craig, Olga Kurylenko, Mathieu Amalric and Gemma Anderton. Following on from the events of the previous film Bond seeks revenge and gets caught up in an attempted coup in Bolivia.

The plot of this film never hits the hits of it's predecessor or successor but functions as an average entry into the series. Using Bolivia as the main location is a strange choice as the barren, poverty stricken country is pretty much the antithesis of a Bond location. When it comes to the direction the heavy use of flash cutting ruins nearly every action sequence making them a muddle at best.
