"Licence to Kill" is the 2nd and final outing of Timothy Dalton as James Bond. It's better than his first turn as Bond "The Living Daylights" and has some great action sequences, beautiful women, and even some drama. In the opening of the film, Bond's friend Felix (David Fedison) is getting married to Della (Priscilla Barnes). Right before the ceremony, Bond and Felix hear that drug lord Franz Sanchez (Robert Davi, an actor you'll recognize from many films. Even though, I can't remember which ones) is nearby and they manage to arrest him; The scene ends with Felix arriving at the chapel, to his overjoyed bride. Problem is, Sanchez has a lot of money and is able to bribe one of the officers to help him in escaping. He exacts his revenge by attacking Felix and Della; With Della dead and Felix in the hospital, Bond resigns from the British Secret Service and goes after Sanchez with a personal vendetta. Aiding him is a beautiful pilot named Pam Bouvier (Carey Lowell) and Sanchez's girlfriend Lupe (Talisa Soto, wife of Benjamin Bratt). A very young Benicio Del Toro turns up as one of Sanchez's henchmen; It was weird seeing Del Toro, because he looks different and his voice is a lot higher compared to his now-raspy voice. A lot of people complain about Dalton's interpretation of Bond, which is a far cry from Connery's (I haven't seen any Roger Moore or Pierce Brosnan outings yet, so I have only Connery to compare to). I agree that Connery is the best Bond, but it's not so much in the acting; But the character. Connery's Bond is almost inhuman. He shows almost no real emotion. He loves women, but he's never seen in love with a woman. He's pretty much immortal, always winning in the end. He seems to have no real friends, except Q...But that's just the guy that makes his weapons. In his outings, Dalton makes Bond human. Everything Bond does in this film is for personal satisfaction, he has friends, he shows emotion. A lot of people don't like this, they like Bond to be what they want to be. But, I have to respect Dalton for what he did. If you like the James Bond series, then you'll probably like this film. It's a pretty strong entry in the series.

i will just say that i am delighted to see so many positive reviews, when the general assumption is that people only like sean and pierce...i used to love reading the ian fleming novels, and, yes, i loved watching connery do his thing from 'dr.no' on, but, if you wanna stay true to flemings writings, then you have to go with timothy dalton being the best bond of all...
this film was clearly the best one of the entire lot (with obvious nods to 'goldfinger' and 'tomorrow never dies'), and yes, no offense, but i just couldn't stand roger moore as bond...he was a good 'saint', but he was never bond...(although 'for your eyes only' was very well written, and the only one i can stand watching by him...)...and i think that was dalton's problem a little...the writing (and casting)...he was amazing, and 'licence to kill' was a major step up from 'living daylights' (and still my personal favorite), but, by that point, people had their heart set on pierce...and, even though he was good as well, after 'tomorrow never dies', the scripts certainly died, with some of the worst bond films ever made ('die another day', 'the world is not enough'...give me a break...)...now we'll just have to wait for 'casino royale' to see if we find valor or another victim, as poor george lazenby can so easily atest to...('on her majesty's...' was a very, very good film, despite the fact that bond cried...give him a break already...he did a decent job with a decent script...so there...)
and yes...the new 'collector's boxes' are kinda a shambles, going all over the map with titles, and obvious sets that include some 'good' ones and some 'bad' ones, to kinda even it all out and make you buy them all...
do yourself a favor...just buy this one, and, enjoy it...then, pick up some sean and early pierce if you like, even george...but stay away from roger...he'll just leave you shaken, but definitly not stirred...

This film ranks with DR. NO, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, and ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE. Not since those films has James Bond on screen come as close to Ian Fleming's character. What makes this film stand out is that it combines the best elements of the three films sited. DR. NO and FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE contained images to the grittiest side of James Bond. In DR. NO the execution style death of Professor Dent and the gruesome knife killing of the guard in the swamp were both disturbing demonstrating a cruel edge to our hero. In FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE the struggle between Bond and Grant aboard the Orient Express was filmed in a more realistic style, not so much for cinematic flair but for realism. Beginning to explore the personal side of James Bond ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE really gives us an in-depth study of an agent who is starting to take account of his life and what future that profession offers him. LICENCE TO KILL resurrects and combines the best elements of these three previous films.
Timothy Dalton totally revamps his first interpretation of James Bond for this film. In THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS we got a 1960's Bond but slightly more serious. In LICENCE TO KILL Dalton closes out the decade of the 90's with a more up to date Bond. Notions of fair play and "Queen and Country" were given up long ago and all that one is left with is a sense of loyalty only to those close to him. What we are left with is an agent "on the edge" who is willing to take the battle to the enemy with "an eye for an eye" and to hell with anybody who gets in his way. The script lets us down in this respect but through the brilliant subdued performance by Dalton the idea still comes across. Also, a great piece of casting of Benicio Del Toro as devoted henchman Dario gives the audience the push it needed to see that this bunch of despicable villains really get their comeuppance from Bond. Michael Kamen's downbeat score also adds to the grimness of this film and the dirty business that our hero deals in on a daily basis and the toll it has taken on his psyche. This is a very different kind of Bond movie, bold in many respects and somewhat disturbing. There have been many strong reactions to this film. You either like it or you don't. If you examine the three Brosnan films, they contain many elements, which explore and owe inspiration from LICENCE TO KILL.
LICENCE TO KILL demands your attention as James Bond returns to his cinematic roots based on the literary Bond.

This Bond movie is one of the better ones. Granted Tim Dalton looks like a weasel, but I very much enjoyed it. I think it is extremely underrated by most people. Many forget about it, but it is in my top 5 favorite 007 films of all time, and I've seen all of them. Dalton does a fabulous job portraying Bond. I also enjoyed the character of Q being as involved as he was. Very Very Good! Buy it if you can!
