Negative Positive
Title: Lethal
Review: One of a crop of interesting, influential Hollywood blockbusters that defined the turn of the 80's / 90's (along with 'Robocop' and 'Die Hard'), this was followed by a batch of inferior sequels which draw attention away from how good this film is. Darker, more violent yet subtler than the follow-ups, this would have been a mundane buddy-buddy cop thriller were it not for the inspired casting of Gibson and Glover. Whilst it isn't exactly 'The French Connection' (at no time does it seem to take place in the real world) , it comes on strong enough for the silliness to not matter. It's worth watching on television, if only to see how the television people get around the swearing.
Is the review positive or negative?
