Is Licence to Kill what you get if you had James Bond battle Tony Montana?


https://screenrant.com/007-darkest-james-bond-movies-ranked/

While most Bond movies follow 007 on an official MI6 mission, Licence to Kill sees him pursuing a personal vendetta on his own time as a rogue agent. After Felix Leiter’s wife is murdered by ruthless cartel boss Franz Sanchez, Bond swears revenge.

If Bond was sent to kill Scarface, it might look something like this. Timothy Dalton’s refreshingly brutal 007 will stop at nothing to avenge his CIA contact. This is the only Bond movie to earn a 15 rating in the UK, thanks to its uncompromising violence, serious tone, and setting in the narcotics industry.

No, Tony Montana was out of control and was actively sabotaging himself due to his cocaine addiction. Sanchez was far smarter and cunning than Montana

You get a Miami Vice Bond movie.Totally underrated because it went against the formula.Dalton was great as Bond ahead of his time...

If Sanchez is comparable to anyone it’s Gus Fring. He’s not a stone cold psycho and if you further his interests he rewards you very well, but if you go against him he will butcher you
