(Ketenangan di dalam kesengsaraan. What?)

Well, if you are looking for solace for your weekends, let's just say, forget it. There's no solace in this whatsoever and you can't seem to find romacen either. Well, there's a fling of course but that's just it.

Driven by pain due to Vesper's death, Bond ventures and try to find the person that made him lose Vesper. The shocking thing was, M's right hand turned to be to double-face agent. Quite a big shock to M. The perfect, little Mr Know-It-All was now portrayed as someone more human; blinded by white hote rage, been said to be the person behind all killings and had his job suspended. But of course, being Bond, he can eventually crawl out of the deep plunging hole of habislah-aku.

The scene started out with car chase (nice Alfa Romeo, what a waste) and proceeded to show Bond as an agent that cannot be controlled and even M had problems to tie him down. The story slowly unfolds and nice to see bond in somewhat like a shirt, killing people ruthlessly. I had to hand it down to Daniel Craig for still being able to appear so frigging hot even though pakai seluar senteng. I mean, how many people can actually pull that?

There was no solace in the film, unless you were looking for a place to run from cliche lines and unnecessary mumblings. Be prepared for action because like M said,'you are not able to differentiate between friends and enemies'.

The film touched a bit on environmental issues and how some people use the issue to manipulate the situation in order to gain profit. People are dying and the vilain, Greene, reaped the profit. But don't worry, his death was tragic as well as a little funny. Karma happens you know.

Bond cannot seem to forgive himself or even forget Vesper. It was nice to see the playboy to actually being able to have affection for other people.

The story never fell sort of my expectation. Seriously, I never watched the one Pierce Brosnan starred because I thought he had a little too pretty face. I wasn't even considering to watch the series, not until Craig came into the picture last two years. If you happen to be the fan of Ian Flemming, well, this story, which was actually based on one of his titles (Another Day To Die), what a bummer because it didn't follow the story line.

I had to hand it to Craig for carrying the character so well. He may not be gorgeously good looking (but I like) but he had the charisma (double likey!). And yes! there was no 'My name is Bond. James Bond' line. That was really a nice change.

If you are planning to go for an action-packed movie, I really suggest this one.

Rating: Like a chocolate doughnut covered with rich-creamy strawberry filling. With a tall glass of coffee. Whichever way you like it.

Worth the money.
