Daniel
Craig’s
second
stint
in the
007
tux
is a
high-impact,
fast
and
flashy
affair
- as
one
would
come
to expected
nothing
less.
Still
agonized
by the
death
of his
love
interest
in Casino
Royal,
and
still
adamant
to nail
those
responsible,
James
Bond
gets
entangled
in a
new
web
of underhanded
but
large-scale
scoundrels
which
also
has
his
own
MI-5
branding
him
a rogue.
The
Quantum
organization
has
its
sights
firmly
set
on a
valuable
natural
resource
leaving
many
dead
in its
wake
to fulfill
its
objectives.
Not
if Bond
can
prevent
it.
He teams
up with
a woman
also
bent
on retribution,
and
what
you
get
is globe-trotting,
car-
and
boat
chases,
fist
fights
and
shoot-outs
–
all
in a
day’s
work.
Marc
Forster
was
an interesting
choice
for
an action-spy-thriller,
having
directed
The
Kite
Runner,
Finding
Neverland,
and
Monster's
Ball
(at
the
time
featuring
a Bond-girl
to be,
the
Oscar
winning
Halle
Berry).
Co-writer
Paul
Haggis
also
the
penned
the
screenplay
for
the
previous
Bond
flick
Casino
Royale,
and
wrote
Clint
Eastwood
projects
like
the
Oscar
winning
Million
Dollar
Baby,
Letters
From
Iwo
Jima
and
Flags
Of Our
Fathers,
as well
as TV
shows
like
The
Black
Donnelly’s,
and
others
stretching
way
back
as far
as The
Love
Boat
in the
‘70s,
The
Facts
Of Life
in the
‘80s,
LA Law
in the
‘90s,
and
yes,
even
Walker
Texas
Ranger!
The
sparse
extras
on this
single
DVD
release
are
the
trailer,
as well
as the
music
video
for
the
theme
song
“Another
Way
To Die”
by Jack
White
and
Alicia
Keys.
