James Bond investigates the shady organization ,by the name of Quantum.
Starring -Daniel Craig, Olga Kurylenko
Director- Marc Forster
Daniel Craig continues his fabulous performance as James Bond.On his
second movie as Bond ,Daniel gives his character more of the trademark
egoistical charm and elegant one liners.Olga takes up the mantle of Bond
girl in Quantum.Like Eva Green ,in the previous movie ,she gives a good
performance.But Quantum like Casino fails to bring about a powerful
villain.The villain ,Greene ,played by Mathieu Amalric , falls into the
zone of a typical villain and doesnt offer much.
The story for
Quantum OS takes a backseat throughout the duration of the movie.While
it is a good spy story ,it isnt really spectacular nor deep.The main
problem is that its hard to concentrate on the plot when you have long
action sequences taking place every 5-10min.These action sequences are
quite good and intense but after a while it starts to overshadow the
story and might cause you to lose focus on the thin plot.
Direction by Marc Forster is good ,but doesnt come upto Casino's Martin
Campbell.Marc focuses more on action than give importance to the
story.But on the positive side ,QOS doesnt get dull at any point.The
excellent cinematography carries the, long but edge of seat,action
sequences very neatly.
Overall ,Quantum doesnt match upto its predecessor ,but Daniel Craig & the action sequences make it worth your time.
Acting- 4/5
Story- 3/5
Direction- 3.5/5
Action- 4.5/5
