User Reviews

A great film - reminded me of Dalton as Bond.

I always liked Dalton and still think he was much better as Bond than Brosnan. So I was very pleased when I first watched "Lie Down with Lions" - it reminded of Dalton as 007. It's not a typical action movie, it's plot is much more dramatic and full of many interesting characters played by such great actors as Nigel Havers, Omar Shariff and Jurgen Prochnov. It's more "down to Earth", especially for people like me who live in the centre of Europe or in Far East. Locations are just beautiful and it's true that sometimes they may remind of "The Living Daylights". I would recommend that film not only for men but also for women, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. My grade is 9/10 (only because it's not a cinema movie - and it's a pity).
