He Can Balance Action And Emotion

The Road To Perdition mixes a man (and son) on the run plot with thudding action scenes and dramatic shoot-outs.

It’s a grown-up comic-book flick with adult themes – the guns and gangsters never overshadow the relationships at the centre of the narrative.

Which is key – Quantum Of Solace was far too concerned with upping the action, Bond 23 needs more of a balance between explosions and emotions to keep Daniel Craig happy.

If Craig’s happy, we’re happy, which is why our next reason to be cheerful is so important…

      OK ! Everyone seems to be salivating over the fact that Mr Mandes has been mentioned to take the seat for Bond 23,which is all well and good but if you really want a good action director who can also give you the drama needed i'm going to chuck 2names in ! ....Ridley & Tony Scott ! We all know how good an action film either one of them can make...But lets face it,anything would be better than solace !!!!Honestly , What the hell was that all about? And on top of that it was under 2 hours long !!! c'mon, since when is a bond film under 2 Hours ...
