I just gave License to Kill another viewing. As I noted here, I don’t think I quite managed to follow the plot when I went through all the bond films in my mad marathon, so a second viewing was in order. I just got around to it, and, altogh I think I missed a few details, I think I was much more comfortable with it this time. It is rather more nuanced than it’s predecessors – there seems to be more in terms of plot and character, full of double-crossings and deceits. I do feel Dalton made a fine, convincing bond: his is a three-dimensional bond, capable of making errors and acting out of vengeance. Above all, the film is a rip-roaring adventure with the right balance of wit and intrigue. It’s also a film wich came out in the late eighties, so it made me feel young again. Two hours well spent, then.
