The Living Daylights
(1987)
Directed by John Glen
this Bond film stars Timothy Dalton, Maryam d'Ado and Jeroen Krabbe.
Bond helps a Soviet general defect but becomes suspicious of his
motives and investigates further.
Despite being one of
the more over looked Bonds star Timothy Dalton is not bad in the role
and brings a lot more seriousness to the part following the Roger
Moore era. The plot of the film is fairly common cold war era stuff
but is a bit more grounded in reality than some of the plots that you
find floating around in the Bond cannon. Given more recent world
events it is also interesting to see how much like Rambo 3 (1998) the
Mujahideen in Afghanistan are used as allies to the hero.
3/5
