PREVIEW: Quantum of Solace (2008)

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT! PLOT POINTS REVEALED!

Synopsis: The follow-up to the surprise hit of 2006, QUANTUM OF SOLACE picks up where CASINO ROYALE left off. Although she ultimately betrayed him, Bond is out for revenge against those responsible for Vesper's death. While an interrogation of Mr. White helps uncover the truth, the big question remains, "How does a double-oh keep it from getting personal?" For starters, team up with Camille, a beautiful but feisty woman with a vendetta all her own. She leads him right to Dominic Greene, mastermind behind the clandestine organization known as QUANTUM that is out to gain control of the most precious thing on Earth - mankind's water supply.  

Prediction: In Casino Royale, Daniel Craig proved that, although he's no Sean Connery, he could make the role his own and revitalized the 46-year old franchise. Apparently, corrections were made to varied concerns voiced over Royale and Quantum promises to be both character-AND-action driven. (See Trivia below.) Prior Bonds haven't made it past 2 or 3 films. This one will cement Daniel Craig as the final Bond in the franchise history.
