Is there solace in revenge? Bond and 'M' sniff a shadowy international network of power and corruption reaping billions. As Bond pursues the agents of an assassination attempt on 'M,' all roads lead to Dominic Greene, a world-renowned developer of green technology. Greene, a nasty piece of work, is intent on securing a barren area of Bolivia in exchange for assisting a strongman stage a coup there. The CIA looks the other way, and only Bond, with help from a retired spy and from a mysterious beauty, stands in Greene's way.
The character was the secondary Bond girl in 2008 James Bond film Quantum of Solace and was portrayed by British actress Gemma Arterton.
'M' wonders if she can trust Bond, or if vengeance possesses him. Beyond that, can anyone drawn to Bond live to tell the tale?
I went to see this on Sunday, thinking that it would be the same amazing picture that was Casino Royale. Sadly, it wasn't. Quantum of Solace still has the action, the girl and the explosions that you'd expect, but it is still missing something. By removing the gadgets, the car (only around for the first 5 minutes) and the improvisation that you'd expect a Bond flick to have, it has removed essentially what is a Bond film and what you are left with is the story.
And the story was not that thought out. Many moments left me thinking: 'what was the point of that?' The film is a lot darker, focusing mainly on the character seeking 'revenge' but was not the film I expected it to be.
A good watch, better than anything else at the cinema now, but not as good a film as I thought, and I felt a bit disappointed walking out. At most 7/10 but probably 6/10.

After leaving a note at the reception of the hotel for Bond saying 'Run!' , Fields' fate is soon cemented when she is discovered by lying naked on the bed in the hotel room, covered her dead body in oil.

In an act of poetic justice at the end, Bond leaves Greene stranded in the middle of the desert with nothing but a can of engine oil to drink.
Behind the scenes Director found Arterton a witty actress and selected her from a reported 1,500 candidates. One of the casting directors asked her to audition for the role, having seen her portray Rosaline in Love's Labour's Lost at the Globe Theatre. Arterton said Fields was 'not so frolicsome' as other Bond girls, but is instead 'fresh and young, not. A femme fatale.' Arterton described Fields as a homage to the 1960s Bond girls, comparing her red wig to that of, who played in.
Rigg, alongside, is one of her favourite Bond girls. Arterton had to film her character's death scene first day on the set, where she was completely covered head to toe in non-toxic black paint. Although she found the experience unpleasant, she believes the scene will be an iconic part of the film.
The character's first name, which is a reference to the Beatles song 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and the places in both Liverpool and with the same name, is never actually uttered on screen; when Bond asks her for her name, she replies, 'Just Fields.' Caplen suggests that this is a conscious effort to portray a woman 'whose character attributes are neither undermined nor compromised' by her name, even though her name may have sexual overtones reminiscent of earlier.

However this wasn't the case; the only reference to the pair being a married couple is when the receptionist of the hotel believes Fields is Bond's wife due to them being undercover. Fields is a stereotypical commonly explored in films from the and era.
