Quantum of Solace* (12A)
Hollywood Film Theatre, Ipswich

James Bond follows the trail of an international criminal organisation with friends in high places, which leads to a Bolivian entrepreneur.
Action-driven sequel to Casino Royale, of which most of the action is unintelligible, as also is the story (with a plot that vaguely resembles Licence to Kill - another "tougher" Bond - in its second act.) A hotchpotch of Bonds old and new, with one interesting Hitchcock-style set piece at the Vienna opera, and the star is as mean and moody as before.

d: Marc Forster.
s: Daniel Craig, Olga Kurylenko, Mathieu Amalric, Judi Dench, Gemma Arterton, Jeffrey Wright, Giancarlo Giannini, Jesper Christensen, Tim Pigott-Smith.
Titles: MK12.
