Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Expect the expected.

fresh:
Timothy Dalton, the fourth Bond, registers beautifully on all key counts of charm, machismo, sensitivity and technique.

fresh:
This Bond is as fast on his feet as with his wits; an ironic scowl creases his face; he's battle ready yet war-weary.
– Richard Corliss,

13 Oct 2008
fresh:
Mr. Dalton, the latest successor to the role of James Bond, is well equipped for his new responsibilities. He has enough presence, the right debonair looks and the kind of energy that the Bond series has lately been lacking.
– Janet Maslin,

fresh:
Dalton, with his athletic sort of Brit-yuppie work ethic and romantic streak, comes out all right.
