Spent the last few hours of the Bond movies being available on Netflix in the US on the Cap's favorite, The Living Daylights. To sum up my opinion: really, REALLY good. John Barry's score shined more than it has ever before for me! I guess it makes sense that it was his last in the series. Dalton seems to have gotten a bad rap as Bond and given this movie I'm not sure why. Highly recommended. Probably the best serious one since From Russia with Love. It was nice to see a serious Bond movie that meets the middle ground between action and espionage, which I think the series struggles with from time to time.
I'll be coming back to it, but much like OHMSS I wouldn't call it a casual viewing movie. Have to be ready to get invested again.
