In "Goldfinger," a female body lies dead in James Bond's hotel room, memorably covered head-to-toe in gold paint. (Cause of death: "skin suffocation.") In "Quantum of Solace," another female body lies dead in his hotel room, this time doused in pitch-black oil. While it's an obvious, wink-wink reference to one of 007's most beloved cinematic adventures, it also carries a blatantly metaphorical aspect: Bond's world is a lot darker these days.
Yes, Bond is back and more brooding than ever in "Solace," a movie I know one of my friends isn't going to dig, because apart from a couple of snazzy cell phones, it is basically gadget-free. (Full review)
