A dash of Bollywood!

Film: Quantum of Solace

Cast: Daniel Craig, Olga Kurylenko, Mathieu Amalric

Well, you have to believe that this James Bond film comes with a dash of Bollywood!

We have tried several such stories that this one has: revenge at any cost. Quantum of Solace, the sequel to Casino Royale, picks up from where the latter ended.

After being betrayed by his beloved Vesper, Bond has a mission – to uncover the truth and the organisation behind the betrayal, though he captures many links but ‘kills’ them – so much to earn the wrath of his employer and an ouster!

And in typical Bollywood-like situation, he meets Cammie (Olga Kurylenko), who is also tailing the man who set her house on fire.

Now, together, they unravel and brave organisations and tricks! Saw it somewhere?

It has an impressive Dominique Greene (played by Mathieu Amalric) who runs an organisation called Quantum.

Here, the Hollywood villain is all set to take control of the world’s important natural resources and is hand in gloves with an exiled General Medrano.

High on emotions

A case of manipulations, deceit and surprises, this Bond is short on speech and high on emotions.

Hold your breath for it gives you a terrific chase on land, water and air and calms you with the scenic beauty of Italy, Austria and London.

Some slick moments and a predictable end seem affordable in this one – after all we haven’t exactly seen a dark-skinned, green-eyed Bond with tears in his eyes, ever!
