Review Detail

A much better paced movie more in line with Timothy Daltons take on Bond rather than aping on Moore's campy style. I was looking forward to this as Living Daylights was a Bond movie I always thought had a lot of potential it had a very good first half and a second half that dragged. From a technical point this edit is seamless great quality throughout no jarring or confusing cuts. The cuts were so good it could've been the theatrical release I had to rewatch my copy to see what was removed . I love that Moore era gags are now gone they weren't funny and clashed with Daltons Bond, The second half was where the improvement was felt the most the pacing is really improved with an improved score.

Not much I can really say without nitpicking its a great edit that sets out what the editor intended while I don't think this movie will ever be perfect it is a significant improvement to the original if you want to see a more serious take on Living Daylights to compliment Daltons Bond this is the edit for you.
