Leave your thoughts about Licence to Kill.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA well-produced slick high-octane action thriller that remains escapist and as entertaining as possible throughout. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrIf Licence to Kill has one of Bond`s best heavies, it also has one of his best heroines in Carey Lowell, a strapping brunet who plays an ex-Army pilot reluctantly enrolled on Bond`s side. Lowell`s line readings may be only adequate, but she moves with the grace and vigor an action movie needs. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertOn the basis of this second performance as Bond, Dalton can have the role as long as he enjoys it. He makes an effective Bond - lacking Sean Connery's grace and humor, and Roger Moore's suave self-mockery, but with a lean tension and a toughness that is possibly more contemporary. |
| Orlando SentinelJay BoyarIf the series is ever going to return to its Connery-era glory, it definitely needs some new writers, ones who know how to streamline a story and keep the dialogue tight. |
| Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewMichael A. SmithDalton is just a little TOO serious as Bond. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. PuccioDalton brought a seriousness back to the films that somehow got lost in a lot of silliness along the way. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperA sign that the Bond series is improving. |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashThe best part of this movie is Dalton's performance as Bond. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonOne of the best of the 16 Bond films, thanks to Dalton's athletic, tough and deadly new 007. |
| Film Geek CentralAustin KennedyAnchored by an engaging revenge plot, this Bond film has a great villain, a dark tone and several top-notch action set pieces. |
