Well, as far as reading too much into goes, at least you didn't start going on about crucifixion imagery (talk about bringing in your own pre-occupations!)
It really is a revenge tragedy, isn't it, albeit of a peculiar kind (I know our hero and heroine live, but there's certainly catharsis...)
The bit that really got me, though, was the scene where whats-his-name (Matthews?) is dying, and says "Shall we forgive each other?", and asks Bond to stay with him. I don't know if Bond has much of a conscience left or not, but he at least has enough humanity left to hold him and comfort him as he dies (it's an oddly tender scene). And then he turns cold again and leaves the body in the skip, in that odd splayed out cruciform posture (it's like a pieta and a deposition from the cross out of sequence...)
... yeah. Must watch CR. I thought QoS had it's oddly profound moments, in amongst the porn of various varieties.
