Lethal Weapon

DateFriday, December 19, 2008 at 05:46PM

 

Release Year: 1987

Review: I couldn't get into this buddy cop film. It felt as though it didn't know what it was itself. On one hand there were corny one-liners and lighthearted dialog, and on the other there was some pretty graphic violence and sex. The plot was extremely impractical, making a season of 24 seem reasonably realistic. It was a case of dumb cops taking on dumber criminals. But its a buddy cop movie, I could forgive the plot if there was decent chemistry, but I never bought Mel Gibson and Danny Glover together. The acting was weak, the lines fell flat and I ended the movie not caring about either of them.

Rating: 2/5
