Review of Lethal Weapon (1987) by Noel Murray for The A.V. Club — 25 Jan 2009
For his first produced screenplay, Black took the best clichés from his favorite movies and honed them until they cut. Lethal Weapon’s heroes were edgier. And thanks in large part to the all-in commitment of director Richard Donner and producer Joel Silver, its chases and shoot-outs were more destructive.
This one modestly budgeted genre exercise pumped hot blood back into a stiffening body.
