And while it was retooled a bit for Dalton, it's not quite "his" movie.<BR/><BR/>License To Kill is more a Dalton movie, but it's a purposely atypical "change of pace" James Bond movie, in which he's in the unusual situation of being on his own, on a strictly personal mission, not to mention screwing up bigtime as a result.
