Plot

James Bond (Dalton) goes after an arms dealer while accompanied by a very lovely cellist (d'Abo).

Pros

This movie has tons of action, as usual some of it is a bit ridiculous, and the aforementioned lovely cellist.

Cons

The storyline is convoluted to say the least. It's almost as if they had all these wonderful ideas for scenes and then tried to tie the plot in with them. I also wish we would have seen more of John Rhys-Davies.
