Quantum of Solace picks up one hour after Casino Royale. Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 (Daniel Craig) fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M (Judi Dench) interrogate Mr White (Jesper Christensen) who reveals the organization which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.

We intended to watch this movie in Hong Kong but DC couldn't wait to catch it here in Singapore. He grew up watching the Bond movies and likes Pierce Brosnan and the new Bond Daniel Craig (though he had not caught the legendery "best Bond" Sean Connery's protray of the role). In this spy-thriller film, there were exciting land, air and sea chases, of course not forgetting Bond's signature cocktail Martini and gorgeous Bond girls. As usual, we enjoyed the action-packed film.

I did a stock take on the countries Bond went in the film... How I wish to travel to these countries too! :P
