12 Things You Learn Rewatching Quantum Of Solace

12. The Bourne-Style Action Hasn't Aged Well

Quantum of Solace was released in 2008, just a year after The Bourne Ultimatum hit cinemas, during which period a huge swath of filmmakers were enthusiastically attempting to copy Paul Greengrass' frantic handheld camerawork and pin-sharp editing.

This film is no exception. Though the set-pieces have a pacy urgency to them, they're also a frequent headache to watch due to the sloppy, inconsistent coverage and overly busy editing, often employing multiple cuts per second.

This results in some of the movie's most potentially awesome action being rendered spatially confusing at best and incoherent at worst. There's something to be said for smooth, controlled coverage, and thankfully this trend of spasmodic, "gritty" set-pieces died out a few years after the release of the film.

It ensures the film remains very much a clear product of the late 2000s, and even just a decade on, makes it feel quite dated.
