On top of that, the camera is moving and cutting every half-second so it's nearly impossible to tell what's even happening. Why? We find out later, but the fact that we have no information at the start makes it really hard to care about the action. The film opens with a car chase - Bond is being pursued by thugs. The problems with Quantum lie mainly in the directing and editing. Daniel Craig is great as always, as is Judi Dench and the rest of the supporting cast.
It effectively functions as a discount Bourne film. It's an epilogue to Casino Royale Bond is hellbent on revenge. Not necessarily in its plot, but in its treatment of Bond as a character and his coming to terms with Vesper's death. After the over-ambitious Spectre, I look back at Quantum with fondness due to its simplicity. Quantum was my least favorite Bond movie for quite some time.
