Quantum of Solace picks up where the last James Bond film left off, and is filled with non-stop action.

Daniel Craig is sad and angry following the death of his lady — this time seeking revenge and taking no prisoners.

In the middle of an enormous number of car chases and boat pursuits, you'll find Oscar-winner Judi Dench as 007's boss, M.; a new going-green bad guy played surprisingly average by Mathieu Amalric; and a tough new Bond girl played well by Olga Kurylenko.

Quantum of Solace is directed with an eye on firepower by British director Marc Forster. He directed Finding Neverland and The Kite Runner.

Is Forster's Bond better than the last? Not really, but it does feature more action and some high adrenaline moments.

Quantum of Solace is rated PG-13 and does not disappoint. At times, this movie resembles The Bourne Identity more than Bond — and that's not bad.

As for Daniel Craig, he's deadly serious and the best Bond ever.
