Took a mid-bus full of Choaties tonight to see Quantum Of Solace, the latest entry in the 007 franchise. Clearly the series is moving away from a lot of the trademarks of the Bond I grew up with: the gadgets, the tricked-up cars, the double entendre dialogue, etc. This film felt more like one of Jason Bourne's adventures: a grittier character piece with the usual exotic backdrops. The plot of this movie didn't really hold together, but there was enough decent action to make it worthwhile. Good, but not great. And not as sure-footed as Casino Royale.
