    The Painting was supposed to be very expensive as to bring the target there, and one doesn't know, if it was an intentional and expendable victim in order to bring Patrice to the place..

    ..entirely Right..the mission is the focus-and...the rest..!..

    ..But her real name was "Alice" by Amadeo Modigliani, now in Copenhagen, but painted in Paris somewhere between 1915 to 1918.. it was actually hanging on my mothers wall staring down at me when I was too small to understand it...!

    The scene remains unsatisfactory, as if some essential dialogue was left on the cutting room floor. Patrice is an assassin paid by Silva, first to retrieve the hard drive, then to shoot the potential buyer. Is Silva also an art thief? Makes little sense to me for a former agent. I wish this could be cleared up in a commentary on the DVD/BlueRay in some time.

    Agree, it does pose a question of why but just like Bond, I was more involved in the main focus of the mission, so to speak. Unimportant peripheral characters are not interesting and are dispensable in thought.

    To my mind, it's fairly obvious why he let Severine get shot: Silva still had a shot in his gun.

    I think Bond only feels able to take the guards down once Silva is effectively unarmed. Had he done so beforehand, Silva may have conceivably Shot Bond.

    Also, I suspect that Bond made use of the event as a distraction, enabling him to take multiple opponents by surprise.

    She may have also been rubbish in bed.

    Well since my question was closed because there was a thread maybe this one should be too?
