Continuing the story one hour after the end of “Casino Royale,” the new James Bond movie, “Quantum Of Solace,” is another roller-coaster ride that has thrilling action and another fine performance by Daniel Craig in the lead role.
Taking over the role in 2006 with “Casino Royale,” Craig was a Bond very different from what most people remember. He was rough around the edges, had a much tougher determination and didn’t care how a martini was made.
