Quantum of Solace (2008) is the sequel to the 2006 film Casino Royale. It is directed by Marc Forster, and features Daniel Craig's second performance as James Bond. The movie also stars Mathieu Amalric and Olga Kurylenko. Seeking revenge for the death of his love, secret agent James Bond sets out to stop an environmentalist from taking control of a country's water supply.Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 is determined to uncover the truth. He and M interrogate Mr. White who reveals the organization which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined. Forensic intelligence links an MI6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where Bond encounters the beautiful but feisty Camille (Olga Kurylenko), and she leads him to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), a ruthless business man and major force within the mysterious organization. On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take total control of one of the world's most important natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano. Using his associates in the organization, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the General control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land. As Bond gets closer to finding the man responsible for betraying Vesper, he must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene's sinister plan and stop his organization.
This movie is filled with action packed scenes from start to finish. The storyline moves at a quick pace and is kind of hard to keep up with. Despite this the movie certainly did not dissapoint me, although I was expecting more from it. According to me Casino Royale was better than this one. I'd say that this movie is must watch if you're a James Bond fan.
