The Living Daylights – A-ha
A new Bond and a new style. Gone is the witty Roger Moore Bond and in is a serious, violent, take charge Bond. With a great opening sequence, The Living Daylights was a major direction change for Bond that works to an extent. While all the major pieces of a Bond movie, stunts, girls, action, fights are all there, the sudden seriousness of Bond does make the movie feel different, almost like the earlier movies.
