Timothy Dalton's second and last shot at playing James Bond isn't nearly as much fun as his debut, two years earlier, in the 1987 film The Living Daylights. This time Bond gets mad after a close friend (David Hedison) from the intelligence sector is assassinated on his wedding day, and 007 goes undercover to link the murder to an international drug cartel. Robert Davi makes an interesting adversary, but as with most of the Bond films in the '70s, '80s, and '90s--and especially since the end of the cold war--one has to wonder why we should still care about these lesser villains and their unimaginative crimes. Still, Dalton did manage in his short time with the character to make 007 his own, which neither Roger Moore did nor Pierce Brosnan did. --Tom Keogh

Timothy Dalton's second -- and, alas, final -- outing as James Bond. Unlike LIVING DAYLIGHTS which was originally intended for Pierce Brosnan and reworked for Dalton, this one was specifically designed to showcase Dalton's strengths. This is a hard-edged Bond (the first to be rated PG-13) and has Bond on a personal vendetta against the Drug Lord who maimed his friend Felix Leiter and murdered Leiter's bride. His licence to kill revoked, Bond is a renegade. Good cast with Robert Davi as Sanchez, Carey Lowell as Pam Bovier, Anthony Zerbe as Milton Krest and a young Benecio del Toro as Dario -- one of Sanchez's killers. A good film but it had the misfortune to come out during a regime change at MGM and dumped out in the same summer as BATMAN, INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE and LETHAL WEAPON 2. A court battle would insue over control of Bond and the character of of of the public eye for six years. At the end of that time Dalton decided to step down as Bond and the Brosnan era would begin. A pity, he took a tough realistic approach that wouldn't be seen again for 17 years with the introduction of Daniel Craig.

Although a lot of people disliked Dalton as a more action oriented darker James Bond I feel that the two films he did in these series still hold up well. Free of unnecessary gadgets and puns that Roger Moore iniated, this film holds up much better than"Octopussy" or "Moonraker" (the worst Bond film ever!!). Had Dalton continued as Bond, I'm sure he would bring just as much grit and touchness as the current Bond who I also like--Daniel Craig.

My son was very excited to receive this DVD for Christmas. He loves all of the 007 movies.

A lifelong Bond fan, I've watched this movie only once since it first came out. I eagerly went to see it when it opened in 1989, hoping it would be a solid follow-up to The Living Daylights, an engaging yarn featuring a largely-unknown but impressive, intense (and unfairly maligned) actor named Timothy Dalton. But LTC proved a disappointment. It was unexpectedly violent and dark (though that didn't hurt the excellent Casino Royale), had that weird silver/gray palette of the 80s, and included a number of elements that can best be described as cheesy, e.g. the gray morning coats and Ascot ties of the opening scene, several unfunny efforts at humor, Robert Davi's over-the-top villain, Dalton's hairstyle, and ... Wayne Newton?? Compared to its predecessor, LTC was an even bigger disappointment than Quantum of Solace (2008). This was a terrible waste of a decent actor (Dalton), who could have been the Daniel Craig of the franchise 20 years ago.

Worst Bond flick ever. I own all the others, sure glad I rented this one. The scene where a semi trailer is tilted to one side to run with only one set of wheels still on the pavement to avoid a missile is the defining moment of how cheesy this movie is.
