The technique works like gangbusters during the opening car chase, IMO, but fails miserably during the Siena tunnel/rooftop chase. (The cuts are simply too extreme, in a much-too visually cluttered environment -- essentially ruining an otherwise beautifully shot set-piece.)<br /><br />Fortunately, QOS is the one Bond flick that seems to actually improve with repeat viewings. And when watched back-to-back with CASINO ROYALE (2006), it forms part of a genuine 007 "epic".Brian Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18210364932759284516noreply@blogger.com
