The strong plot deals with a nasty agreement between a weapon ` mercenary and a Russian General, both of them are engaged in a dark red of corruption and illegal trades. Bond will have to face them until unmasking.
This saga is loaded with admirable sequences, fabulous landscapes and an intriguing script. The first incursion of Timothy Dalton was very gratifying, because at last Bond returns to his origins, far from being a simple Cartoon character since Moore was hired.
Recommended without reserves.

I'm sure folks getting into Bond just skip by this one coz Dalton only did two films, and the assumtion is that his movies must suck if he only lasted for two. Though Dalton isn't given much praise, I think he's quite good. In fact, to date I have not seen a lousy Bond actor. Each actor had something unique to contribute. Dalton is alot more serious, which probably seemed like a shock after people had spent a decade with the comical Roger Moore. Dalton makes a quip here and there, and of course he's required to in the scenes with Q. Otherwise, in situations where Moore would have definitely had a sarcastic remark, Dalton remains silent. Another thing-both Roger and Sean(and George for that matter) were a couple of horndogs-Dalton doesn't even seem that interested in women! Aside from scoring a chick in the precredit sequence, Dalton looks as though he's ready to settle down with the lead actress! Bond is up against a weasely Russian and a psycho arms dealer played by Joe Don Baker(Mitchell!!). John Rhys-Davies gets thrown into the mix too. It may not be quite as cool as License To Kill, but don't pass it by.

For all the annoyance Roger Moore caused many Bond fans, he was still the face of Bond for 15 years, and became our comfortable successor to the role originally helmed by Connery. Now that he FINALLY bowed out (after nearly decomposing in OCTOPUSSY and VIEW TO A KILL), the challenge was on to find the NEW James Bond. Many hoped Pierce Brosnan would step into the role at this point, but alas he was still obligated to being Remington Steele on TV. Somehow or other, Timothy Dalton got the role - a very odd choice indeed in that he never seemed to really even WANT the part! Indeed, I would have to grudgingly argue that Dalton is my least favorite James Bond - he just never seemed to own the role the way his other peers did (even Lazenby in his ONE outing).
However, and ironically, his two films were some of the best the series had to offer, beginning with this definite Top Five contender. TLD represented a return to the more espionage centered feel of the novels, and really only seen in the first two Connery films, ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, and Moore's own FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. The main plot revolves around a power-hungry arms dealer and a secondary plot to assassinate secret agents around the world. Along the way, Bond hooks up with a would-be assassin and has one of his few on-screen monogamous relationships. This alone adds to the believability of the film.
Somehow, the producers were able to delve into a rich espionage plot, yet still not skimp on the action. This film is LOADED with action, including a new gadget-filled car (one of the better ones) and several exciting sequences involving the theft and eventual crash of a transport plane.
The only complaint I have with this film (aside from Dalton himself) is that the villain is pretty weak. Joe Don Baker just doesn't have the screen presence to be a villain. Ironically, he returns in GOLDENEYE and TOMORROW NEVER DIES as a good-guy, and fits THAT role much better! Jerome Krabb fairs a little better, but is generally more annoying than anything else.
Marayam D'abo is nice as the Bond girl - attractive AND a good actress as opposed to the usual glamour models that may or may not be able to act (ahem - Barbara Bach - ahem). This was the first Bond to replace Moneypenny - and the actress chosen was serviceable, but with little of the memorable flair that Samantha Bond has brought to the role in the recent Brosnan films.
All-in-all, and Dalton not-withstanding, this is one of the best of the series, and is a welcome return to a grittier and more believable Bond - Dalton's follow up, LICENSE TO KILL would delve even deeper into the gritty side of Bond - too bad the Brosnan films came along and took us back into Super Bond territory!

The CD was great and extra scenes on the Cd were really good, however it could have been advertised that it was the wide screen CD and I would have bought another! So I wasted $21.00 as I have a HD TV but not wide screen.

This is without a doubt my favorite movie out of the series. The Living Daylights is a Bond film that has depth and realism. The film isn't the typical Bond movie. It has a hardcore spy plot. Other films in the series like this includes FRWL and OHMSS. As an actor Timothy Dalton brought intensity and passion to the role. No other Bond has reacted to situations with human qualities like Dalton did. For example, in the fair scene Dalton jumps up abruptly with anger and ready to kill when he finds out that Saunders was murdered. Previous Bonds did not show emotion like this(with the exception of George Lazenby). Dalton's performance made the movie transcend the title of being "just a Bond movie". In some Bond films (especially the Bronsnan entries) the gadgets, the action, the jokes, and the escapades overpower the movie's plot. That is not the case with The Living Daylights. There is a balance between action and plot. The humor is witty without taking away from the serious nature of the film. After watching Roger Moore's parody and silliness it was refreshing to watch Dalton take a darker approach in The Living Daylights. Dalton's monogamous approach also made the film stand out. Throughout the film Bond stayed with one woman-Kara Millovy (The pre-credits woman doesn't count). Also, an important aspect to me in a Bond film is a believable down-to-earth villain. This film accomplished just that. Necros, Yogi, and Brad Wittiaker made classic intelligent villains. Cartoonish villains such as Jaws make me disgusted with the series. In conclusion, if you want parody from a Bond movie watch entries like The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, The Man With the Golden Gun, and Diamonds are Forever. However, if you want to watch a Bond movie with substance watch this movie, License to Kill, From Russia With Love, Thunderball, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
