Timothy Dalton is the most underrated to play James Bond. His darkness made the role more like Ian Fleming's character. The plot is a more believable one. A defector from the Soviet Union tells MI6 that a Russian spymaster is re-instated an old Stalin program calling for the assignation of all spy's. As proof the assignations of two members of the double O section. The defector names the person who activated the program and it would be best if they got him before he got them.
The defector has been captured thinking the KGB has him. Bond goes back to to the beginning to pick up the trail. He learns that there is a scheme thought up by muntions dealer Brad Whitaker played by Joe Don Baker. Whitaker is a wanna be soldier who was kicked out of West Point for an honor violation and couldn't cut it as a mercerny. The plan is to get Bond to eliminate the thorn in the side. t seems the funds to pay for the weapons is being used for something else. It was so nice to have a realistic plot.

Blu ray Bond is best !
I am replacing all of my DVDs with the blu ray version for my 4K player and flat screen.
Better picture, sound, and more durable disc.

An Underrated Bond Film That Was Ahead Of Its Time

Way before current Bond actor Daniel Craig 's tough, gritty and realistic portrayal of 007, there was Timothy Dalton who played the Mi-6 agent in two films: "The Living Daylights" in 1987 and "Licence To Kill" in 1989.
Unfortunately, audiences and critics in general in the late-80s were not yet quite ready for Dalton's approach and interpretation -- albeit faithful to Bond creator Ian Fleming's vision -- of an intense, living-on-the-edge government assassin. This was too drastic a paradigm shift from the lighthearted, broadly-comedic and overly-debonair Bond persona which predecessor (now Sir) Roger Moore brought to the public in seven successive Bond movies from 1973 to 1985.
Dalton's first outing in 1987 was well-received given that "The Living Daylights" as a whole was still closer to the Moore style of films. The second one though was tailor-made for Dalton and his realistic edginess, brought to the fore and accentuated by the film's vendetta plot, and manifested by a high level of tough, mean violence and dark ironic humor that Bond fans were not accustomed to.
Thus, "Licence To Kill" did not fare very well, commercially and critically, during its original release. Today, however, this film may be seen as tame versus the current Daniel Craig movies.

He may not be the best bond, but the bluray is cheap and great looking all of these come with a digital copy and are a must for any Bond fan. This film is a bit cheesy, but its fun in the end. i can also watch it on my VUDU account. I do like the white covers on these sets too.

Timothy Dalton returns in his 2nd outing as 007 in the most violent of them all with shark attacks, people set on fire, death by conveyer belt, shootings and even a bad guy hyperbaric implosion!

I'm not the biggest Dalton Bond fan, but I needed these Blu-Rays to complete my Digital HD Bond collection and for some reason the Timothy Dalton Bond Collection didn't include Digital HD codes (even though the other Bond Collections did) - very odd

Great James Bond movie in Blu-Ray. It also includes a code for a digital copy of the movie, which expires if you don't redeem the movie. My only complaint is that it doesn't include a DVD copy of the movie like some discs do.

I have to say Timothy Dalton was an ok 007 but we'll he was better in Hot Fuzz. The movie is still action-packed and has everything you want to see or near everything you want to see in a Bond film. Personally the gadgets.

It's too bad Timothy Dalton's Bond gig preceded a lull in the series, but the two films he made have held up nicely and look fine on Blu-ray. He's suitably low-key and sardonic in this outing, one of the series' best.

Licence to Kill is a classic Bond film with Timothy Dalton reprising his role as 007 in this fast-paced/action packed film. There are is little room for boredom when it comes to watching this movie. Timothy Dalton excels in his role that he has made even more interesting since his last performance on "The Living Daylights". Robert Davi makes a great villain for the film. It was a surprise to see a young Del Toro in this film. Overall, a really must have film for fans of action and especially of Bond, James Bond.

One of the last films I needed to complete my Blu Ray collection of the Bond franchise, I do love this movie.
It’s the darkest Bond adventure, yes. But it’s still got the heart of a James Bond adventure.

Dalton's last film as Bond is awesome. Long before we got the cold calculating Craig as Bond we had the amazing Timothy Dalton playing a straight up hitman. Robert Davi kills it as the villain in this film and is one of my favorite Bond villains period.

I always liked Timothy Dalton as James Bond, and he delivers a solid performance as Bond while Robert Davi makes a very good villain.
