cinemajesty 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)

LeonLouisRicci 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.

Mr-Fusion I know this isn't a revelation, but 'Licence to Kill' doesn't at all feel like a James Bond movie. It's just one of those things you have to see for yourself. The locations look cheap, the drug plot has "Miami Vice" written all over it and the revenge angle gets lost in the shuffle once OO7 runs south of the border. I thought they were just patterning Bond after American action movies with that opening score, but they actually hired Michael Kamen. It's no wonder this sounds like "Die Hard".Following "The Living Daylights", Dalton deserved a better movie.5/10

jordansepticeye This movie,well loved by many fans,seems to be forgotten by the public,and I don't see why,if they praise Daniel Craig for being dark,why not Dalton?First,the good,the action,it is well choreographed and has great stunt work.The score and the cinematography are,like always,fantastic.The story,it is simple,but very suspenseful and personal,Bond isn't off fighting some businessman in a volcano lair,he's fighting a drug dealer who killed his best friend.The characters,they are well written and feel real.The Bond girl,she is tough and has good chemistry with Timothy Dalton.The villain,he is very serious and realistic.Plus the movie was never boring.Now,the bad,I thought the Bond Girl was a bit annoying at times,there was some bad acting,and it doesn't have the Bond "feel",if you understand.License to Kill is a great Bond movie,that doesn't feel like one.
