Review of Lethal Weapon (1987) by Stephen Z — 23 Jul 2015
Perhaps the quintessential buddy-cop film, "Lethal Weapon" has everything going for it. The action is fantastic. The narrative is well-done and has a lot of heart. But most importantly, the comedy is near-perfect. Danny Glover is really funny; Mel Gibson is even funnier. Gibson and Glover have a great back-and-forth and make for a perfect comedy duo. Throw on top of that the skill of an experienced director like Richard Donner, and you've got the formula for a truly enjoyable film.
"Lethal Weapon" is the perfect blend of action and comedy. Simply stated, it is a really fun and delightful film.
