You should know something about me and the people I work with. We deal with the left or the right, with dictators or liberators.

~ Dominic Greene to General Medrano.

Dominic Greene is the main antagonist of Quantum of Solace, the second installment of the James Bond reboot film series.

A wealthy environmentalist, Greene runs a corporation called Greene Planet, which is a front for Quantum, a terrorist organization that Le Chiffre and Mr. White also work for.

Greene is tasked by the organization with securing a piece of land in Latin America that is rich in natural resources. To that end, he plans to restore exiled Bolivian dictator Luiz Medrano to power in exchange for the land. Greene also has a connection to Vesper Lynd, and may have been one of the men who was blackmailing her prior to the events of Casino Royale. Following his death, he is revealed to have been an agent of the criminal organization Spectre.

He was portrayed by Mathieu Amalric.

History[]

Quantum of Solace[]

Greene first appears when undercover Bolivian Intelligence Agent Camille Montes confronts him in Haiti over his order to have her killed by Edmund Slate. He is then interrupted by General Luiz Medrano, who murdered Camille's entire family years earlier and whom she has made it her mission to kill. The General takes her on the boat, intent on raping and murdering her, but Bond saves her. On board his private jet, Greene meets with CIA representatives Gregg Beam and Felix Leiter; Greene tells Beam to get rid of Bond, who has been looking into his dealings with Medrano. Greene has developed a relationship with the CIA, gaining their support in overthrowing the existing Bolivian government with understanding that the United States will profit (literally and figuratively) from Greene's influence in Bolivia with regard to oil, which he has led the Americans to believe he has discovered.

Greene attends a production of Tosca at an opera house in Bregenz, Austria; using remote communication earpieces, a conference call of sorts is held during the performance among Greene and fellow members of Quantum, all of whom are scattered about the opera house audience. Bond obtains an earpiece of his own and brazenly informs them that he is listening in. With their meeting compromised, the Quantum members — Greene included — leave the opera house. Greene goes to his car, where Bond gets one of his assailants and throws him off the roof, on to Greene's car. Greene is next seen at his party, delivering a speech on conserving South America's rainforests, but when Camille crashes the party, Greene threatens to kill her, at which point Bond steps in. Greene sends his henchman Elvis after them, but Agent Strawberry Fields, an MI-6 agent from the local British consulate and Bond's lover, "accidentally" trips him up. Greene later has her and Bond's ally Rene Mathis killed, and frames Bond for their deaths, resulting in MI-6 Chief of Intelligence M reluctantly putting a capture or kill order out on Bond.

Greene utilizes his eco-friendly company Greene Planet as a cover for his involvement with the international organization Quantum. Greene has spearheaded a relationship with Medrano; through a mutually beneficial partnership, Greene has promised to use Quantum to overthrow the existing Bolivian government and place Medrano in power. In exchange, Greene and Quantum ask for land rights to a seemingly barren tract of land deep within the Bolivian desert; ostensibly, this desolate piece of land could yield precious reserves of oil. Bond and Camille stumble across dynamite-created dams deep within a sinkhole in the Bolivian desert; these dams effectively divert vast resources of water into a single, concentrated area. Bond realizes Greene isn't after oil: instead, Greene and Quantum intend to privately own and control Bolivia's water supply. Upon Medrano's agreement to accept Quantum's aid in overthrowing the Bolivian government, Greene presents Medrano with a contract for the privatized water service Quantum will provide for the country — at double the rate.

Bond learns that Greene is staying at the Perla de las Dunas, an eco-hotel in the Bolivian desert (filmed in the Atacama Desert). He and Camille infiltrate the building and go their separate ways; Camille to find Medrano, while Bond goes after Greene, who is armed with a fire ax. An explosion of one of the hydrogen fuel cells that power the hotel sets off a chain reaction as an unarmed Bond fights Greene. With the hotel burning down around him, Bond knocks out Greene and leaves to find Camille, who has already killed Medrano.

As they escape the hotel, they see Greene in the distance running for his life. Bond captures Greene and takes him deep into the Bolivian desert where he interrogates Greene about the secrets of Quantum, including the truth that Vesper's boyfriend Yusef Kabira is a Quantum agent who faked his capture to blackmail Vesper into working for Quantum in the first place. With the information at hand, Bond spares Greene by leaving him in the middle of the desert and throwing him a can of motor oil, betting he will make it 20 miles before he considers drinking it, a reference to Fields' murder at Quantum's hands.

Following Kabira's arrest, M informs Bond that Greene was found in the middle of the Bolivian desert with two bullets in the back of his head - presumably executed by Quantum - and motor oil in his stomach.

Spectre[]

In the film, it is revealed that Quantum was in fact a subsidiary of Spectre, making Greene an agent of the latter organization. It was also revealed that Greene was nothing more than a pawn alongside Mr. White, Le Chiffre and Raoul Silva, all of them used by Ernst Stavro Blofeld (the head of SPECTRE) as part of the latter's true plot to inflict psychological pain on Bond. It is also implied that Blofeld ordered Greene's death as punishment for spilling the truth of Quantum to Bond.

Personality[]

There is nothing that makes me more uncomfortable than friends talking behind my back. It feels like ants under my skin. It's been that way forever. I remember when I was 15, I had a crush on one of my mother's piano students. Somehow, I overheard her saying very nasty things about me. I got so angry, I took an iron ...
~ Greene discusses his childhood with Camille.

Greene is a cruel, malicious, and arrogant man. He covered his tracks splendidly and knew quite a bit about how the Secret Services of the world work.

He was highly well-connected, and was able to side with the Bolivian chief of police and General Medrano. Greene was quite cunning and manages to blackmail Medrano into signing over the money that Greene demanded (Double of what they had previously agreed), at the same time showing to Medrano how ruthless Quantum could be and that Medrano, whether he liked it or not, was completely expendable to them.

Dominic Greene was extremely devious and nobody could predict what his next move was going to be. Unfortunately, he had a habit of picking the wrong people to side with: He lost General Medrano to Camille, and beforehand he lost the Bolivian chief of police to James Bond. He was sadistic, taunting Bond when the latter believed Camille to have been killed by General Medrano. This showed him to be quite reckless, as Greene was about to fall to his death when he taunted Bond, who could have easily killed him for that remark. Greene was a coward, and did whatever he could to escape Quantum, and the wrath of James Bond, after he revealed every last secret of his secret organization.

Quotes[]

I will need you to get rid of him for me.
~ Greene ordering Gregg Beam to kill Bond.
How much do you know about Bond, Camille? Because he's rather a tragic case. As MI6 says, he's difficult to control. Nice way of saying that everything he touches seems to wither and die. Doesn't bode well for you, I'm afraid. You two do make a charming couple, though. You're both... What's the expression? Damaged goods.
~ Greene taunting Camille
Sounds like you just lost another one!
~ Greene laughing at Bond over Camille's apparent death
Greene: You promised that you'd--
Bond: Let you go?
Greene: I answered your questions. I told you what you wanted to know about Quantum.
Bond: Yes you did. And your friends would know that, so my guess is they're probably looking for you. But the good news is, you're in the middle of a desert. Here, I bet you'll make it 20 miles before you consider drinking that. Goodbye, Mr. Greene.

Trivia[]

  • Dominic Greene is the first big bad of the reboot series to fight James Bond physically and up until Lyutsifer Safin was the only one to fight Daniel Craig's incarnation, this is due to the following:
    • Le Chiffre was not a fighter in any sense and the only physical altercation he has with Bond was when he tortured him, during which he managed to get himself killed by Mr. White for betraying Quantum's trust.
    • Silva although being chased by Bond a few times and having his childhood home destroyed by him, technically never fought Bond since beyond trying to distract him with hazards and sending his goons after him his interest lied with M which would ultimately be his undoing as Bond stabbed him in the back without much of a fight upon Silva being unable to bring himself to kill her.
    • Similarly to Le Chiffre, Blofeld was not a fighter and relied on his goons to do his dirty work for him while overseeing the battles from afar. In the end his plans were more complex and relied more on the mental torture of Bond and come the climax he simply had his helicopter shot down before being arrested (although he was later attacked and accidentally killed by Bond without much of a fight later in No Time To Die as this article details).
  • According to Mathieu Amalric (Dominic Greene) his character does not have any distinguishing features to make him more formidable, and to represent the hidden villains of society: "He has no scars, no eye that bleeds, no metal jaw. I tried everything to have something to help me. I said to Marc Forster: No nothing? A beard? Can I shave my hair? He said: No, just your face." Amalric also described Greene as "not knowing how to fight, so James Bond would be more surprised. Sometimes anger can be much more dangerous. I'm going to fight like in school."
  • According to Mathieu Amalric, it was easy to accept the role of Dominic Greene because "it's impossible to tell your kids that I could have been in a Bond film but I refused!"
  • Mathieu Amalric based his character of Dominic Greene on two political figures: France's then-President Nicolas Sarkozy and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
  • Mathieu Amalric portrays Dr. Paul Gachet in the 2018 Vincent Van Gogh biopic film At Eternity's Gate, where Mads Mikkelsen (Le Chiffre in Casino Royale) also appeared portraying the priest.
