This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

A Major Disappointment

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

This is the second and last film Timothy Dalton made as James Bond, British secret agent 007. In this one, Bond takes on the king of the drug world, Franz Sanchez, played very well by Robert Davi. He even has to resign from the secret service to pursue Sanchez when he was given a different assignment. Bond was best man at his friend, American CIA agent Felix Leiter's wedding. Leiter had led the capture of Sanchez, and the crime boss repayed him by having his new bride raped and killed and then feeding Leiter to the sharks. He survived but lost a leg and an arm. As one can imagine, this Bond film is loaded with action. It's unusual in some ways. First, Q actually gets a role in part of the action. Second, Bond is captured and about done in a few times. Third, he brings the downfall of Sanchez about in an unusual way. The Sanchez stronghold was too impregnable to take down by firepower. So, Bond uses the strength of the Sanchez empire. Sanchez had boasted that he values loyalty more than money. Sanchez knows Bond only as a former secret agent who is now an independent operative. He tries to convince Bond to work for him. Instead, Bond plants doubt in his mind about his associates in his drug empire. It takes some special sleuthing and planting of a few million dollars Bond had obtained by disrupting a sale by Milton Krest (Anthony Zerbe), a trusted business dealer of Sanchez. The doubt festers and as Sanchez misreads his associates' loyalty, he begins to knock off his own associates. Of course, Bond throws some wrenches into the Sanchez operation that help lead to its complete destruction. There are lots of explosions and a long semi convoy chase adds some different action toward the end.

Movie Review: "007: Licence To Kill" (1989)This "007" comes along with an highly U.S. Americanized attitude. In the wake of hard-boild action movies as "Lethal Weapon" (1987) and "Die Hard" (1988) the character of James Bond, portrayed once again in boldness-striking charactization by actor Timothy Dalton, in where his "007" interpretation gets on a private vendetta to avenge his closest friend, cold-blooded executed by the strongest Bond Nemesis in years; the character of Franz Sanchez, performed by buttocks-whipping ironized-ruling antagonist-indulging actor Robert Davi, who from a sophisticated helicopter-airplane-capturing live-action stunt work beginnings to a fire-breathing truck crashing finish line in "Licence To Kill", which keeps the character of James Bond on the run throughout the picture.The production office gets new additions with Barbara Broccoli, acting associate producer alongside her father Albert R. Broccoli (1909-1996), who gambles with producing partner Michael G. Wilson on denying to rely on any of the intial author Ian Fleming (1908-1964) short stories. The original screenplay by Richard Maibaum (1909-1991) and Michael G. Wilson, in final functions at the writing department before the break-a-new "GoldenEye" (1995), brings in high-risk new features close to an R-rated body count in fierce gun fights, live-flesh shark feedings, explosions in mid-summer heat and a Mexican-U.S. border drug war with the character of Sanchez, seeking vengeance for temporarly imprisonement in a realism-preaching pre-title sequence, cleaning up all competitors in the process to achieve a money-for-drugs business deal about to be stopped by Bond.To this point "Licence To Kill" (1989) marks arguably the most realistic "007" action movie since "Dr. No" (1962). The emotional relationships between James Bond portraying actor Timothy Dalton and actress Carey Lowell, given face to originally written character of Pam Bouvier, who takes part of the action from casino decoying beats to up in the air compact plane navigations. In this "007" movie, everything what James Bond stands-for has been put in jeopardy, which makes it stand out in the crowd of an total twenty-four pictures between 1962 and 2015. The suspense is heart-pounding at times with a constant under pressure James Bond targeting even "Q", portrayed by Desmond Llewelyn (1914-1999) at age 74, in a Key West hotel room before receiving his first fingerprint-signature weapon; a rifle, not yet the pistol, to assassinate Sanchez in his office from an exterior rooftop vantage point at night.This Bond makes full use of its 32 Million U.S. Dollar production budget, captured mainly on U.S. American and Mexican locations, which gives "Licence To Kill" a certain summer movie image system, elegantly shot by cinematographer Alec Mills, accompanied by an back-to-the-classics embracing score composer Michael Kamen (1948-2003), when Timothy Dalton gives his farewells to the character of James Bond, which he has given his own signature to be enjoyed in highly recommended revisits of Bond 16.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

Divisive Bond Movie, not the least is Timothy Dalton's Dark, Personal Vendetta Portrayal, and a Focused, Intentional Return to Serious James Bond with very Little Whimsy, Jokes, and Sex.Initially Dismissed by Fans and Critics as "Anomaly" with Mediocre Box-Office, it has Gained Reputation over the Years and is now usually Ranked in the Top Ten.Brutal, Bloody, and with Considerable Concern for Realism (except perhaps for the thrilling chase climax), it is a Bond for those that had Their Fill of Fluff from the Roger Moore Movies. It's about as Far Removed from those Entries as one could get.Some Casting Highlights include Carey Lowell as a Bond Girl who's as Lethal and well trained as She is Gorgeous. Robert Savi as the Pocked Marked Psycho Drug Lord, and Wayne Newton who is Typecast as a Smooth Talking, Fake Evangelist.Anthony Zerbe is Memorable with some Excellent Scenes in the First Half. Q's Role is more Involved this time and adds some Flesh to the Gadget Guru.Overall, depending on Taste, Dalton's Two Films as Bond Stand Up and are Considered by Bond Aficionados as more than Worthy of the Fictional God of the Genre and is Highly Recommended.

Since The Series Turned Into Something what Roger Moore did, the series have to get rid of those gadgets that was never in the novels, Roger Moore's portrayal was great and enjoyable But The Character was not very close , i am very loyal to the novels, so when Dalton came out everything changed , so his 2 movies were great especially this movie,this movie revolutionize the series from serious to goofy then serious, timothy Dalton was a great choice for the role intense,honest,brutal and less humor unlike Moore, this is the 1st bond film to be rated PG13 as it targeted the adults unlike the previous one aiming for kids, License to Kill was the 1st film to feature a villain that has no intentions to take over the world unlike stromberg and Drax with the most ridiculous plots, the previous films were very unrealistic turning bond into a super hero or a comic character, Dalton made it more like the novels what Ian Fleming wrote, The Casting Choices were great especially Robert Davi's Franz Sanchez, was the 1st villain i really like, his portrayal was great as a menacing kind hearted villain, Carey Lowell's Pam Bouvier was a great bond girl, a bond girl that doesn't need a help and she can take care of her own without bond, also David Hedison is back as Felix leiter probably my favorite actor for Felix, the story line was very unique of the series , w/c is about loyalty , the plot were bond must get his revenge for his friend Felix for killing his wife and getting eaten by a shark , and so bond must get Sanchez's trust to destroy Sanchez's by destroying each other, the plot was very great and unique unlike the old ones, License To Kill is one of the best bond movies , with great action sequences, good actor choices and revolutionized the series w/c we have now.
