Review of The Living Daylights (1987) by Liamexe — 03 Dec 2022

I watched this movie through its final third, which took place in Afghanistan. The abrupt inclusion of a huge number of new characters and a late plot surprise that doesn't make much sense and receives little explanation detract slightly from what is otherwise a strong Bond adventure with a more grounded narrative emphasis and aesthetic vibe.

There is still entertaining material there, but everything in and around it detracts from Timothy Dalton's portrayal as Agent 007.
