Leave your thoughts about The Living Daylights.
| Film Geek CentralAustin Kennedy"Finally, a James Bond movie that Ian Fleming can be proud of. Dalton is a lean, mean and bold Bond. Full of great action and featuring a romantic sub-plot that elevates this above most other 007 adventures." |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashThe result of this darker portrayal is that almost for the first time since On Her Majesty's Secret Service there's a genuine sense of tension in a Bond movie. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonDalton, with his athletic sort of Brit-yuppie work ethic and romantic streak, comes out all right. |
| Washington PostRita Kempley007's latest, The Living Daylights, a snazzy spy thriller, is all the more alluring for its new conservatism. It's right up there with the early Bonds, though not in the league with Goldfinger. But oh, what a difference. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrIn The Living Daylights, Dalton establishes his claim to the role; in the films that will follow, he'll have the chance to dig deeper. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. PuccioDalton brought to the part a strong dramatic presence, a heightened sensitivity, a greater human vulnerability than ever before, and a decided seriousness. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt was somehow more entertaining than how it sounds. |
| The Film YapNick RogersDalton is a dapper, dashing and dangerous Bond. And although "Casino Royale's" sophisticated blend of thrills and personal turmoil slightly eludes "Daylights," it's a sign that the producers then had the right instincts if not the full initiative. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsBen YagodaThe relative clarity of the story allows director John Glen and screenwriters Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson to inject moments of subtlety and human interest -- commodities that in recent Bonds have been in even shorter supply than sense. |
| The GuardianLes RoopanarineTimothy Dalton's monogamous, deadpan 007 brings a more nuanced interpretation to the central character, whose relationships evolve in ways rarely seen in the earlier films. |
