Amazon.com: Timothy Dalton's second and last shot at playing James Bond isn't nearly as much fun as his debut, two years earlier, in the 1987 The Living Daylights. This time Bond gets mad after a close friend (David Hedison) from the intelligence sector is assassinated on his wedding day, and 007 goes undercover to link the murder to an international drug cartel. Robert Davi makes an interesting adversary, but as with most of the Bond films in the '70s, '80s, and '90s--and especially since the end of the cold war--one has to wonder why we should still care about these lesser villains and their unimaginative crimes. Still, Dalton did manage in his short time with the character to make 007 his own, which neither Roger Moore did nor Pierce Brosnan did. --Tom Keogh

Robert Davi is a good villian and a young Benicio del Toro plays one of his henchmen. It ... Read More
Rating: - NOT TRUE!!!

And the license it was talking about was only valid in the United Kingdom, AND you had to work for British Intelligence to apply for the license! I complained to the Secretary of State, and even to the governor, and six Congressmen, but they said no. And guess what happened in the meantime! My neighbor got ... Read More
Rating: - Bond, James Bond
I did not like Timothy Dalton in Living Daylights, but I really enjoyed him in Licence to kill. I actually bought into him being James Bond. He is not Sean Connery but nobody is perfect.
Rating: - One of the worst Bond films ever made
