Review of The Living Daylights (1987) by Matt J — 20 Oct 2008
Three stars! shocking!! Dalton is by far equal best bond with Daniel Craig if not maybe slightly edging in front. Obviously all his efforts will be lost on you if you think bond is about girls and gadgets.
Why not pick up a Fleming novel and see how Dalton develops the humanity of the character. As this is not quite as dark and humourless as Licence to Kill, it remains Daltonâ??s most accessible film. There is plenty of wit and top action like Mooreâ??s outings but Daltonâ??s bond actually seems genuinely concerned about X and doesnâ??t actually get it on until quite a way into the film.
Good performances all round and the opening is one of the best ever.
