Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M (JUDI DENCH) interrogate Mr White (JESPER CHRISTENSEN) who reveals the organisation which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.

	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"[It is Bond's] 22nd film and he will survive it, but for the 23rd it is necessary to go back to the drawing board and redesign from the ground up. Please understand: James Bond is not an action hero! (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Derek Elley Variety	"Stripped of Royale's humor, elegance and reinvented old-school stylishness, 'Quantum' has little left except its plot, which is rudimentary and slightly barmy"	NEU
United States	Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	"A surprisingly ham-handed exploration of Bond's psychological shadows (...) It plays like a glum, grim and unforgivably dull artifact of a dying age."	NEG
United States	Ray Bennett The Hollywood Reporter	"[The fans] might be disappointed that the new picture allows hardly any flourishes of style and character in the 007 tradition, but moviegoers seeking an adrenaline rush will be well pleased"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Bond seems to have come down with a serious case of Jason Bourne penis envy (...) It delivers the popcorn goods, but it ignores the poison eating at Bond's insides. Killer mistake. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Anthony Quinn The Independent	"We all know what it is to be bored to death, but have you ever been entertained to death? (...) There's nothing so fatiguing as a movie that won't stop trying to excite you the whole time."	NEG
United Kingdom	Kim Newman Empire	"A pacy, visually imaginative follow-up to the series relaunch (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"'Quantum of Solace' isn't as good as 'Casino Royale': the smart elegance of Craig's Bond debut has been toned down in favour of conventional action. But the man himself powers this movie (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Wally Hammond Time Out	"So much dash, flash and thrill (...) there’s scant time left for character, let alone, story, fun, seduction, humour or wit (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Keith Phipps AV Club	"'Quantum Of Solace' lacks the shock of the new. It also has trouble sustaining the appeal of the old (...) Yet it still feels like the right Bond for the time"	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"What's clever, and slick, and even a little ingenious about the movie, though, is how it postpones Bond's Vesper vendetta by submerging it beneath his present tasks (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Spain	FilmAffinity	In USA Quantum of Solace scored the best opening for a James Bond film ever (70 milliono US dollares). On the other hand, QoS broke box office records on its opening day in the UK taking £4.9m. The new bond film smashed the previous record for a Friday opening of £4.025m, held by Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.	DIS
