License to Kill (1984)

Member Rating:

License to Kill is a serious TV movie dealing with the subject of drunken driving. The film begins when a popular high school girl is killed in a head-on collision by inebriated-businessman Don Murray. Though he's had a drinking problem for some time, Murray has dismissed it as a byproduct of the tensions of his job. Facing a manslaughter charge, the well-heeled Murray hires an expensive defense team....while the father of the dead girl (James Farentino), with hardly a penny to his name, is doggedly determined to see that Murray pays for his misdeed to the fullest extent of the law. The conflicting personalities of the two men are counterpointed by the anguish experienced by their wives (Millie Perkins and Penny Fuller). Written by William A. Schwartz, License to Kill debuted on January 10, 1984. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

If you are renting this movie just because Denzel is in it, dont bother. He doesnt make an appearance until like 30 miniutes into the movie and it was only a couple of scenes that he was in. Im pretty disappointed about it but live and learn.

I think the movie is a wake up call! Was this sponsored by MADD? This could happen to anyone even though you're doing your best to watch out for the other driver. I was blessed that the other driver blew the horn and woke me up. I was tired from work and fell asleep behind the wheel and almost hit head on with them.
