Review Detail

The Living Daylights is a competent entry into the James Bond canon. It's not my favorite James Bond flick, but it certainly isn't the worst. I never particularly enjoyed the locals (Afghanistan, Tangiers, Czechoslovakia), so even though I own a copy, I haven't watched it in several years. To me, this Bond film has never been all that memorable.

So, watching this fanedit was like watching with a fresh pair of eyes. First, the cuts are seamless. I noted the original (2 hours, 10 minutes), compared to the fanedit (1 hour, 56 minutes), is a difference of 14 minutes. But I could not tell you what was cut, other than a couple of places where I *believed* there was probably a silly one-off comment. It looks great, feels solid, and could have been released to the theater in this format.
