Daniel Craig's second Bond film with 99% action and 1% plot. 2008. Director: Marc Foster.
In a new, cool Aston Martin, Bond (Daniel Craig) is chased by villains along a road. Bond arrives at a MI6 quarter in Siena where he meet M (Judi Dench) who isn't sure if she can trust Bond any more.
Mr White (Jesper Christensen) is about to be questioned by MI6, but then Bond discover that some men in the room isn't men to be trusted. Bond chases a member of Quantum, an evil organisation which also Le Chiffre was a member of.
Bond travel to Haiti to track down the contact of the Quantum man in Siena. He finds out that the contact was sent to kill Camille Montes (Olga Kurylenko) because she's the mistress of Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), the leader of an ecological organisation called Greene Planet.
While observing Greene, Bond learns that Greene is helping the disgusting Bolivian general Medrano (Joaquín Cosio), who killed Camille's family, to buy a piece of land in the middle of a desert. "Why?", Bond wonder.
After a fight at one of Greene's meetings, M thinks that Bond is not to trust any more. She has his passport and credit cards revoked. Bond then meet René Mathis (Giancarlo Giannini) and travel to Bolivia.
Bond meet the redheaded MI6 agent Fields (Gemma Arterton). She wants him to take the first plane back to England, but he disobeys. He has desided to find out what Greene is up to, and stop it before it's too late.
I first saw this Bond film at a pre-premier which I thought was really cool. Just mentioned it. When I saw the film at a nice cinema at that pre-premier, I shouldn't have had too high expectations, because that Casino Royale was such a disappointment. But do is a Bond film, then I will have high expectations no matter what.
The movie began with a car chase. I knew then that it wasn't going to be better then Craig's first Bond film. The Bourne films with Matt Damon is some kind of imitation of Bond films, maybe not completely, but still some kind of imitation. I hate the cinematography in the Bourne films, and what do I see in the car chase? The exact same kind of cinematography!
This Bond film is trying to be an imitation of the Bourne films, an imitation of the Bond films (but not as good as the Bond films at all). Can it become more stupid? In this film, the plot is, well "hidden" behind all violence and action.
There's 99% action and then 1% plot which they doesn't even explain well enough so you just sit there and sees Craig shoot and hit henchmen and then do the same thing all over again. But you doesn't understand really why! So the plot is something that they got to work on for the next Bond film.
