The drug bust went cleanly. The drugs were obtained and the drug lord captured. And following the bust, James Bond's good friend, CIA agent Felix Leiter, is married.

And shortly after, the drug lord escapes. Leiter and his new wife are brutally murdered, and Bond knows exactly who did it. But "M" orders him to ignore the matter and start a new assignment; Bond refuses and leaves Her Majesty's Secret Service. Instead, he embarks on a world wide personal vendetta, determined to kill those responsible for the death of his good friend. It's all or nothing, as Britain's top secret agent gets nasty.

MOVIE REVIEW

Timothy Dalton's second Bond movie, after the good but not super The Living Daylights, and his last, is License to Kill. Whether at the time he knew it would be his last Bond film or not, License to Kill is one great way to leave. Probably the darkest of all Bond films, without any motive other than revenge, License to Kill is probably one of the least complicated but one of the most exciting Bond films.
