Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Quantum of Solace (2008)

While I could tell that the action scenes, especially the initial car chase and rooftop pursuit, were cool, I had a hard time following them and was actually confused about which guy was which (both in dark suits with close-cropped hair) in the scaffolding/pulley scene. At least now I understand how my father probably feels during most movies, so often did I have to say "who's that?" or "which one is the bad guy?"

In short,
doesn't hold a candle to Casino Royale. The villain, the chick, and the whole vibe was a notch lower.
Still, alright, though felt far longer than its actual length.
