Review of Licence to Kill (1989) by Paul C — 24 Jan 2009

Unfortunately Timothy Dalton's tenure as 007 was during a time when political correctness taking hold, so the witty dialogue and sexy (and come to that sexist) scenes were toned down. Dalton is a fine actor, and he is surrounded here by a cast of good character actors - particularly Robert Davi who makes for a convincing villain as Sanchez.

The major problem is that the story is just not exciting, quirky or 'Bond' enough - it just comes across as just another action-thriller, and a fairly uninteresting one at that!
