Quantum of Solace ***

Heavy on superb action sequences, believable high tech, and pretty women, the tough and still-sexy Daniel Craig leads us hurtling through a breathless world-wide chase of something no one ever heard of. The movie benefits from great editing, suitably pulsing sound track, and interesting, exotic locations. It's a commendable sequel, and introduces a new villainous conspiracy that can serve as Bond's nemesis for years to come.

Rated PG-13. 106 minutes. Marc Forster - Director, Paul Haggis - Writer, Neal Purvis - Writer, Robert Wade - Writer, Barbara Broccoli - Producer, Michael G. Wilson - Producer, Roberto Schaefer - Cinematographer, David Arnold - Composer, Dennis Gassner - Production Designer, Matt Chesse - Editor, Richard Pearson - Editor.

Principal actors: Daniel Craig, Olga Kurylenko, Mathieu Amalric, Judi Dench, Gemma Arterton, Jeffrey Wright, Jesper Christensen, and Joaquin Cosio.
