Quantum of Solace? I realize the film's title is pulled from a short story in the anthology For Your Eyes Only. And I do know that the title applies to Bond's character's state of mind following the loss of Vesper Lynd. But that doesn't mean I have to embrace the choice. The title might not fall trippingly off the tongue but we're stuck with it so we'll just have to deal and move on.

Fortunately, the film itself looks much more interesting than the title implies. Daniel Craig returns for his second go at Bond, James Bond, and after showing audiences what he's capable of in Casino Royale - he can be sexy, dangerous, and handle the action scenes - there's no longer any lingering doubts about his taking on the iconic role.

The Story
Bond is still dealing with his betrayal by Vesper as Quantum of Solace unfolds. As Bond and M try to uncover the truth, they are led to a Mi6 traitor which then leads to a secret bank account in Haiti. From there, Bond travels the world on the trail of a ruthless business man who wants to seize control of one of the world's most important natural resources.

Quantum of Solace goes into action on November 14, 2008.
