5. Quantum of Solace
The second Bond film featuring Daniel Craig essentially continues the story from Casino Royale. The agent wants to find out who is behind the betrayal by Vesper, the Bond girl from the previous film. To do this, he confronts businessman Dominic Green.
The film is action-packed, yet relatively superficially directed. The runtime is a comparatively short 106 minutes. While Daniel Craig also delivers a good performance here, the character has little time for development. Instead of elegant gentleman-spionage, the film aims to be too much like a realistic action movie. A recipe that simply does not fit Bond.
