Quantum of Solace is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. At its heart, Quantum of Solace understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M interrogate Mr. White, who reveals that the organization that blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined. The writing gets a boost from Daniel Craig and Olga Kurylenko, who sell every scene they're in. It hit screens in 2008. What makes Quantum of Solace hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Daniel Craig's performance is the kind that shows up on best-of lists years later.
