Review of The Living Daylights (1987) by Damien K — 10 Jan 2013
The Living Daylights introduces us to a very new, very serious Bond portrayed by Timothy Dalton; and it's brilliant! Everything about this movie works. The acting is great, the action sequences are thrilling, and the story is captivating.
The re-imaging of Bond in this film with a more serious take is excellent. The more light hearted comedic days of Roger Moore are passed over to a much darker 007. Timothy Dalton has always been one of my absolute favorite Bonds if not my favorite one, and he pulls off the role incredibly.
He looks great in the action scenes and suave in the romantic ones. His line delivery is spot on, and while portraying a much more serious side to the character, still delivers some great one liners. The villains in this movie are also worthy of mention as they all (henchmen included) are great.
One appearing in a different role in a future flick. Again, from top to bottom this is an awesome 007 adventure and a must watch for any Bond fan.
