'License to Kill' is not one of the great Bond movies.

I'm intrigued by films that have a singular vision behind them. A lot of studio movies have ten writers by the time they're done. You have a movie testing 200 times, making adjustments according to various people's opinions. It's difficult to have an undistilled vision.
Carla Gugino

Time, Done, Difficult

Ivan Reitman

Good, Remember, Proud

Because actors don't get to pick movies; movies pick the actors.
Benicio Del Toro

Carla Gugino

Women, Become, Silly
