Tuer n'est pas jouer Notations et commentaires
- Mister Arn22 mai 2025Great action with a story that, right after watching, I can't remember what happened.
- Richard Davis14 mars 2026By far, one of the better Bond's. Not quite as good as License to Kill, but believable, achievable, no silly impossible weapons, just a good story and Dalton's quiet menace.
- ርልዪረ28 janvier 2025( ^o^)︻デ一 The Living Daylights is the fifteenth film of the James Bond franchise which saw Timothy Dalton take his first turn as the titular MI6 agent who pitted against an arms dealer and a renegade Soviet general. This is the fourth consecutive film directed by John Glen, based on the screenplay by Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson that based the first act on the original Ian Fleming short story “The Living Daylights”. The Living Daylights has a run time of 130 minutes with barely a moment that doesn’t keep one engaged in watching. Timothy Dalton’s first turn as Bond meant a change in tone in the character which became more serious given his profession but not humorless, while not overtly romantic Dalton’s Bond does know who to put on the charm when appropriate. Maryam d’Abo turn as Kara Milovy was a weird mixture of naïveté throughout most of the film with unexpected levelheadedness during the climax, however this appears more to the script which d’Abo was able to negotiate to make the character likeable and while not the best Bond girl, a good one. The villainous duo of arms dealer Brad Whitaker and renegade Soviet General Georgi Koskov played by Joe Don Baker and Jeroen Krabbe respectfully creating an interesting antagonist combination against Bond, while Whitaker was technically in charge of everything it was Koskov doing most of the heavy lifting especially since Andreas Wisniewski’s East German-born Necros appeared to be Koskov’s henchman; all three men performed well as each gave Bond a different challenge. From start to finish, this was an adventure spy film with great stunt and chase scenes that spanned the globe which carried over from the Moore era of the franchise while also allowing Dalton’s Bond to show his chops when it came to getting things done. And finally, a-ha’s “The Living Daylights” is one of my personal favorite title songs from the franchise. The Living Daylights was the first James Bond film I watched all the way through when growing up and thus it has a special place in my personal nostalgia. With that in mind, in comparing this film to its predecessors only On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is better than this film and Goldfinger just below it. Timothy Dalton’s first foray as James Bond was the jolt the franchise needed, and it created a great spy adventure film that is very rewatchable whenever someone is in the mood for a great Bond film.
- LivewireAdmin3 février 2026The Living Daylights marks one of the most dramatic course corrections the Bond franchise ever attempted. After more than a decade of Roger Moore’s increasingly playful, eyebrow-raising take on 007, audiences in 1987 were suddenly greeted with Timothy Dalton—harder-edged, serious, and far more grounded. It was a tonal reboot before the word even existed. Some fans were caught off guard by the sudden shift, and reviews at the time reflected that split: praise for Dalton’s intensity and physicality, but hesitation about whether this more dangerous, less quippy Bond fit the series’ evolving identity. What’s fascinating is that Dalton’s interpretation wasn’t some radical reinvention—it was actually a return to Ian Fleming’s original conception. His Bond feels fallible, brooding, and morally conflicted in ways that rarely surfaced during the Moore era. Watching this film now, it’s striking how much Dalton anticipated the modern “serious Bond” template that Craig would later perfect. The action itself is easily the film’s strongest suit. From the opening Gibraltar training sequence to the cargo-plane showdown (that Uncharted would later lift), the set pieces feel weighty and kinetic in a way the franchise hadn’t pulled off in years. But as tightly staged as the action is, the story that binds it all together is fairly unremarkable Cold War intrigue, functional at best and dull at worst. And unfortunately, this entry also saddles Bond with one of the series’ most forgettable Bond girls—Maryam d'Abo's Kara Milovy, well-intentioned but largely passive, lacking the spark or agency that defined the franchise’s standout women. Another intriguing wrinkle: Pierce Brosnan was supposed to debut as Bond here, but a last-minute contractual obligation to Remington Steele forced him to bow out. Apparently the buzz around Brosnan landing the role is what caused NBC to renew the show. Dalton stepped in, and while Brosnan would eventually get his moment nearly a decade later, it’s hard not to wonder how differently this era might’ve played out. Brosnan debuting with anything other than GoldenEye feels wrong so it all worked out for the best. In the end, The Living Daylights is a solid but uneven reset—exciting, well-crafted, and buoyed by a genuinely strong Bond performance, but held back by a thin storyline and an underwhelming romantic lead. It’s easy to appreciate what Dalton brought to the role, even if the film around him doesn’t fully maximize it.
- Zokkiie10 janvier 2026Timothy Dalton is… alright. He brings a bit of grittiness to Bond, but it never really clicks. The story is okay—typical spy stuff, nothing too exciting, and it drags in places. The villains? Weak. Easy to forget. And the Bond girl? Totally forgettable. Some cool action moments here and there, and a few decent gadgets, but overall it feels like a middling Bond. Not terrible, but not particularly memorable either.
- jkat252 décembre 2025Underrated bond film. Great action, solid plot, lots of suspense. Closest feel to the Daniel Craig movies with the way Bond acts/general charachter (more gritty), the female lead's involvement/co-hero actions. Highly recommend.
- GBWest4 septembre 2025The first go at a darker, grittier, and overall edgier Bond film. Right from the start The Living Daylights is a different film from all those that came before it. The action, the sound, the music, the stunts are all bigger and better. Start with a jump out of an airplane for a training mission that turns real when somebody starts killing 00's on Gibraltar. Finally 007 is on the job, finalizing the action with a rolling action sequence and driving over a cliff's edge. If you've never seen The Living Daylights, or it has been a while, this is a fantastic 007 film for the start of modern James Bond films.
- A Home Movie Server11 décembre 2024Good entertaining movie. Classic James Bond.
- Cescooo26 avril 2025Super movie, as all 007 until the last actor
