In this installment of the James Bond series, Agent 007 (Timothy Dalton) is assigned to protect a Russian defector (Maryam d'Abo) from the KGB. When the defection proves to be an elaborate ploy, Bond woos her anyway, and together they follow a trail to a crooked American arms dealer supplying weapons to Afghanistan. Dalton finally assumes the role of Bond after refusing it 16 years earlier with DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. The film is loosely based on Ian Fleming's short story. [More]

Reviews for The Living Daylights
A pure back-to-basics action-adventure spy drama which mostly delivers.
Dalton is a solid, serious, but a bit colorless as Bond. Still, the action is good.
Dalton, with his athletic sort of Brit-yuppie work ethic and romantic streak, comes out all right.
Has there ever been a weaker Bond villain than Whitaker? A more fatuous performance than Joroen Krabbe's Koskov? A less endearing Bond girl than Maryam D'Abo's Kara?
Dalton brought to the part a strong dramatic presence, a heightened sensitivity, a greater human vulnerability than ever before, and a decided seriousness.
