Quantum of Solace

I can’t really give this a fair review. There was an altercation in the theater that distracted me and threw off my mojo. But of what I saw, it felt a little too “Bond Identity” and not enough Casino Royale. I missed Martin Campbell’s wide shots and long takes. And though she’s stunning, Olga Kurylenko has all the charisma of a bucket of sand. (The generic script is partially to blame.) Mathieu Amalric slithers around with the best of the Bond villains, but there’s no WAY he could go the distance with Bond in hand-to-hand. I wanted to like it, so I’ll give it another chance.
