Review of Licence to Kill (1989) by Craig F — 02 May 2015
Extremely apparent 80's film. Timothy Dalton gets one of the best scripts of the Bond series so far but give a rather uninspired performance as a vengeful 007. As with previous Bond films, there's a bunch of 80's influences here, the most visible probably being Scarface.
It was also nice to see personal story for Bond, though by the end I'd forgotten Felix survived, and it was cool seeing a young Del Toro. Gender roles are addressed but never challenged; Bouvier was one of the most capable Bond girls so I had hoped to see her in action rather than pining for Bond, but all in all 'License to Kill' is one of the best Bond films yet.
