Quantom of Solace is a 2008 film directed by Marc Forster and starring Daniel Craig and Olga Kurylenko. It is the 22nd James Bond film and the direct sequel to the Casino Royale movie in 2006. Quantum of Solace is Daniel Craig’s 2nd performance as James Bond. The story revolves around Bond seeking revenge for the death of Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) a former lover. He is assisted by the beautiful Camille Montes (played by Olga Kurylenko), who is also exacting revenge.
Two black Alfa Romeo 159 appeared in the beginning scenes of Quantum of Solace. It featured in the car chase scene with Bond’s Aston Martin around Lake Garda in Italy. Initially, the car used in the scene was supposed to be a Ford GT, but was replaced by the more sophisticated Alfa Romeo.
Quantum of Solace premiered in October 2008 at the Odeon Leicester Square, with mixed reviews from critics. They praised in Craig’s gritty acting performance but noted that the sequel is not as impressive as Casino Royale.
