Review by David Drummond:
November 11th, 2008Having caught up with our hero last week I feel there is an element of “emperors new clothes” about QoS.
Frankly the movie is as desperately bad as Casino Royale was good! It is crap. Total crap. And here’s why…
Casino Royale worked because it is essentially pure Fleming. QoS doesn’t work because Purvis and Wade just don’t have the imagination to embellish the little original material they injected into CR. Also, shame on Mr & Mrs Wilson – what were they thinking when hiring Marc Forster! He just isn’t up to the task. Desperately bad direction leaves Danny Boy struggling on several levels. Nothing irritates me more than that hand held camera nonsense during chase scenes – which renders the film almost unwatchable.
Where to from here then? Well I’d suggest we get Paul Greengrass on board, now that he’s run Bourne to ground. And maybe let me have a go at writing the script… I can’t do much worse!
