Some of the isolated moments are very fine: a
shot of the
horse galloping into view along a distant line of Mediterranean beach; a tilting
shot of the struggle for survival
in the night waters as the ship (with decorous flames
in its portholes) starts to go under
in the background; great bursts of energy amid a garbled sense of time and space
in the
horse race sequence.
Arriving
in Sienna, Italy, during the famous Palio
horse race, Bond (Daniel Craig) discovers that mysterious Mr. White (Jesper Christensen), whom he
shot in the leg before the closing credits, is just a cog
in a complex global criminal conspiracy known as QUANTUM, stretching from Europe to Latin America, as Bond is pursued not only by bad guys but also by MI6 and the CIA.
