Search: Starring Giancarlo Giannini

By focusing on the journey of how a spy becomes the Bond, James Bond we all know, the movie manages the impossible task of coping with all the baggage laid before it and reinvigorating our interest.

Berg's dilemma requires him to try and solve logical and ethical puzzles, and cannot be alleviated through the easy process of having him find Heisenberg likeable.

Sadly the main story... is pretty dull, uninspired stuff

This is played for laughs, which gives Anthony Hopkins's performance an odd Hammer horror feel to it.

The film resembles a schizophrenic's acid trip - viscious, paranoid and out-of-the-box.

Mexican director, Guillermo Del Toro, does not follow Hollywood's traditional approach to nature's abnormalites. Fear is suggested, rather than flung at the screen.

Feelgood and inoffensive.

Quantum of Solace is lacking the unique 007 vibe.

Dolmio adverts have more depth.

The plot is blatantly holey and wholly bland.

It isn't a bad film - it just doesn't amount to much.
