Fans of the James Bond franchise have largely walked away from and forgotten Daniel Craig's Quantum of Solace, but if they give it a second chance, they'd find that it's the most underrated James Bond film to date. Quantum had the daunting task of following up Casino Royale, the film that many consider to be the best Bond outing. Not only that, it's one of the many films of its time that fell victim to the 2007-08 writers' strike.
Bond's rage doesn't fade as the movie goes on, either. Daniel Craig is great in all of his Bond movies, but this one might ask the most out of him. He's royally pissed the entire movie! It's an interesting case of the character not being the charming spy that we've come to know. Instead, this Bond is grieving and out for revenge. Understandably, Forster and Craig didn't originally want to make a direct sequel to Casino Royale.
There are plenty of action scenes in Quantum of Solace, but the movie is most riveting during its chases. The opening chase with Bond evading those trying to reclaim Mr. White is absolutely fantastic. Cars are zooming down tight roads that cut up next to long drop-offs into the ocean, with the vehicles bobbing and weaving around others. It's a visually arresting scene, both in terms of its breakneck action and beautiful scenery.
