" The Living Daylights is a 1987 spy film, the fifteenth entry in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions, and the first of two to star Timothy Dalton as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. Directed by John Glen, the film's title is taken from Ian Fleming's short story "The Living Daylights", the plot of which also forms the basis of the first act of the film. It was the last film to use the title of an Ian Fleming story until the 2006 instalment Casino Royale. It is also the first"

The better of Dalton's two Bond films
“Warning: SpoilersWhile this is nothing brilliant, this could have been much worse. Out of the two films Timothy Dalton did, this is the better of the two as I personally disliked Licence to Kill. The plot is nothing special, the script is thin, the pacing is pedestrian and the film is overlong. Conversely, the locations are superb and very picturesque, the music is brilliant, the action is credible, the direction is decent and the acting from Dalton, Jeroen Knabbe(the Soviet general), Maryam D'Abo(as the beautiful Czech cellist) and Joe Don Baker(as the arms dealer) is not bad at all if not superb. Overall, it is decent but not extraordinary. 6/10 Bethany Cox.” read more

Much like the rest of the Glen-helmed pictures its never outright bad or not at least mildly entertaining but the good moments it has are a bit few and far between. I think I like Dalton's approach to the character, being more upfront with the asshole-ish elements of Bond. The one thing this film can really boast is the top tier theme song from the great a-ha."
"25.7. Aloitimme viime vuonna televisioesitysten vuoksi Bond-projektin, joka tuntui aina vain entistä vastenmielisemmältä katselumäärän kasvaessa. Jokseenkin puisevat agenttiseikkailut ovat olleet suurimmaksi osaksi vain keskinkertaista ja ylipitkää pakkopullaa, joten Kesän Romanttisimman Poikamiehen kanssa olikin hyvä pitää yli puolen vuoden tauko. Näitä näytetään taas uudestaan telkkarista, joten nyt sitten on ehkä mahdollista jatkaa, kun viime kesänä digiboksin sekoamisen "
