Licence to Kill (1989)

Lupe Lamora, played by Tolisa Soto
Bond and his best pal, DEA agent Felix Leiter, are on their way to Felix's wedding in the Bahamas when DEA agents in a helicopter inform Leiter that Franz Sanchez, a major druglord in South America, is close by. Leiter and Bond get in the helicopter and go to the airstrip Sanchez is at. Bond briefly meets Sanchez's girlfriend, Lupe Lamora. After a huge chase, Sanchez is captured and Bond and Leiter go to the wedding.

Just as Bond is about to board his plane back to London, he sees on the news that Sanchez has escaped custody. 007 rushes to the house and finds Felix's wife dead and Felix barely alive. Bond immediately suspects Sanchez and goes rogue to find and kill him.

Franz Sanchez, played by Robert Davi
Bond meets up with one of Felix's contacts, Pam Bouvier, at a local bar. Sanchez's men attack both of them, and they escape on a boat. They develop a plan to take down Sanchez's whole drug operation in Isthmus City.

In Isthmus City, Bond goes undercover, posing as an assassin-for-hire. Sanchez recruits him, and eventually allows Bond his utmost trust.

Will Bond bring revenge upon Sanchez? Find out in Licence to Kill!

Pam Bouvier, played by Carey Lowell
I really liked Licence to Kill. I'm a real big fan of the 80s, especially the movies. Sanchez reminds me of Tony Montana from Scarface. The movie shows Bond's weak side, which is his loyalty to his friends. He risked his job going after Sanchez.  That takes a lot of guts to do something like that. The acting is also very good. Bond is split between which girl he wants, Lupe or Pam. Also, Wayne Newton takes on a small part. I would recommend this movie.
