The Living Daylights ends up being a very unique Bond film. It was released in 1987, and up until then audiences had been enjoying the eye-brow raising, sly-witted, out of this world (literally) adventures of Roger Moore over seven Bond films spanning 12 years. Timothy Dalton, the new actor in the role of James Bond, had originally been offered a c...
The rest of the film focuses on what initially appears to be a defecting KGB agent, General Georgi Koskov, who is actually a rogue Russian looking to pitch the British against the Russians to distract them away from his corrupt arrangement of a huge arms deal - hence the assassin sent to kill Bond and Co. on their training exercise. Bond steals Kos...
The Bond car is a Q-Branch modified Aston Martin V8 Vantage, with a special Volante (convertible) edition also used in the film. It sports rocket launchers with a heads-up-display launchings system, laser-beam hub caps, bulletproof glass, studded tires, and deploy-able skis, which really come in handy when the Aston’s tires are shot out while drift...
This movie works so well as a Bond film because it is the last time the Russian government acts as a bona-fide “enemy” to Bond. As the world embraced “detente”, or stalemate of the Cold War over the last years of the Soviet Union, so did Bond. The Living Daylightswas a rather refreshing last hurrah for the Reds to play the baddies. Yes, technically...
Timothy Dalton’s edgier Bond works out alright, if coming across slightly less charismatic and more Shakespearean than Roger Moore, but the filmmakers managed to adapt the storyline to this new approach very effectively. I’ll give Dalton a pass as it was his first film and they were all taking it extremely safe, and he definitely firmly established...
This film is the 10th best Bond film out of the 23 because while it features the first of Timothy Dalton and the last of the legitimate Russian bad guys for the series, but the pacing feels just slightly off and ultimately it lacks the charismatic punch of the others on this list. It seems to play it a little too safe for its own good. There is ple...
The plot overall is very good. I love the intersection of Koskov playing double agent, Pushkin being set up to be The Heavy and eventually being an ally, and the arms dealing and drug smuggling bringing Bond to the Middle East.
The plot of the new movie is the usual grab bag of recent headlines and exotic locales. Bond, who is assigned to help a renegade Russian general defect to the West, stumbles across a plot involving a crooked American arms dealer, the war in Afghanistan and a plan to smuggle a half-billion dollars worth of opium.
