“Quantum of Solace” is released in Israel Thursday, a week ahead of The States. Israeli distributor, AD Matalon, is withholding press screenings of the movie until the night before its release, which generally means “We don’t have much faith critics will like it” (which is odd, meaning they have really low regard - or so it seems - for this one, as critics tend to be kind to James Bond movies, unless Timothy Dalton or a villain named “Jaws” are in it).
But last night they held a sneak preview for local celebrities in tel Aviv, and one of them - a bone fide Bond aficionado - texted me after the screening this shorter-then-a-haiku critique: “It’s a real stinker! the direction is terrible”.
I will see the film Thursday and will have to find out for myself how much of a stinker this one really is. Has anyone already seen it? Care to comment?
