QUANTUM OF SOLACE: Bond is reeling after love of his life Vesper’s betrayal and suicide in the last film. Now the ice in his veins guy, he sets out to find the men responsible and bring them to justice. Just like Golden Gun’s Bond, this bond is a f-ing a$$hole, beating up or killing everybody that crosses his path and chugging alcohol whenever he can find it, while never losing that James Bond stoicism.

His killing trail brings him face to face with Dominic Greene, a colleague of Mr. White from the last film, both being members of Quantum, the same organization that contracted Le Chiffre to do their dirty work. This time they’ve tricked the Americans into doing their dirty work by promising them oil, the black gold that makes today’s mechanized world go round, in exchange for neutralizing Bond and allowing Greene to effect a mutually beneficial regime change in Bolivia, and the Brits agree. They don’t care if they have to support tyrants in some third world sh*thole, so long as their oil-backed economy’s remain strong, and that’s the hard decision that those in power have to make on a regular basis while those not in power post NO BLOOD FOR OIL memes to twitter with an iPhone from a Starbucks. Politics and foreign policy are not that simple, and whether we like it or not, literally everything we do goes back to oil because we have yet to invent the Solex, so the West plays ball with Quantum, unaware that they are actually being played, that there is no oil to begin with. Quantum is in fact seeking control of Earth’s other precious liquid: water.

This is all very real world stuff that goes well beyond the typical good vs evil cartooniness that generally plagues Bond, and solidifies this new Craig era’s bid for a more realistic approach to 007.
