Quantum Of Solace: Movie Review

The much awaited '007' movie had arrived. Baby and I went to the Signature GSC The Gardens last Friday to catch the midnight show (finally after I promised so long to bring her to watch there). Out of expectation, the cinema was packed!!! I started to wonder that Malaysians are really have a big spending appetite (FYI, each ticket cost RM20). Who said Malaysians are kiam siap? hehe

The phrase 'Quantum of Solace' actually means small measure of comfort amid sorrow or disappointment.

The movie started with a bang!! With 007 driving an Aston Martin DBS and was chased by villians driving Alfa Romeo 159. The movie was induced with vengence that 007 was betrayed by Vesper (from Casino of Royal), the woman he loved but died. With his determination the truth, 007 was on a mission to uncover a terrorist organization led by Dominic Greene (Matthieu Amalric). Along the mission, 007 met Camille (Olga Kurylenko) which has her personal vendetta with General Medrano (Joaquin Cosio) whom killed her family.

Travelling from Haiti-Austria-Italy-South America, 007 unveiled the organization with a motive to discover the truth of his past lover only to find out that it was not what he had hoped to know. And finally, finding peace is his life (that was the title about; peace at last).

Great movie. Filled with actions (as usual) and drama. Although not much love or romantic scenes which fitted the vendetta in the air. Much recommended 5/5 but a recap of Casino Of Royal is advisable.
