Quatum of Solace - Bond. James Bond

Hmmm. We went as a family so as a family outing, it was a bonding experience. (Sorry, just couldn't resist that.) Solace is full of action. And for us old foggies, it is the "new" action where the scenes are so fast they almost blur together, making the point of the action almost impossible to discern. I had not seen a Bond movie in quite awhile - pre Pierce Brosnan Bond days, actually. Clearly, this was a sequel to a movie I had not seen. The plot line involved retaliation against Vesper's murderer. I have no idea who Vesper is. About half way through the movie I began to understand the story line. And by the end, I got it. But not to worry, I will not give it away here as I simply can't remember it, it made so little impression on me. The older Bond movies always began with Bond meeting with the gadget inventor man and the demonstration of all the handy little spy toys you know Bond would need to solve the crime or rescue the heroine. Sadly, that was missing. Perhaps it has been missing for awhile. But if you like fast action and lots of shooting and some intrigue, then this one is for you.
