My Quantum of Solace Film Season #7:
Quantum of Solace (2008)
[#73 in 100 Films in a Year 2008]
It may not be as good as Casino Royale, and I do have a few specific reservations about it, but all things considered it's a more-than-solid action thriller. Also, the short-ish running time is (unsurprisingly) not a problem in the slightest.

This also means I managed to complete My Quantum of Solace Film Season exactly as planned. I have to say, I didn't expect that!

Five Casino Royale Pointers For Quantum Of Solace
(from Empire Online)
Quantum of Solace is pretty reliant on the previous film's plot -- I should know, I've seen it -- but doesn't come with much exposition/reiteration or any flashbacks, so it might be worth swotting up a little before you go see it. Which you will, obviously.
