Title: 4.0 out of 5
Review: LETHAL WEAPON is an action masterpiece, and one of my most favorite films. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover star as two extremely mismatched cops; one is on the edge after losing his wife in a car crash, the other is a newly-turned 50-year-old just trying to keep alive. Together they're slowly learning to like each other; when they do, they'll have to try to take down a secret drug ring run by Vietnam vets. Richard Donner's directing is very good, from a witty script by Shane Black; the score, by Eric Clapton and Michael Kamen, is one of the best and most jazzy film scores I've heard. There's plenty of action, plenty of thrills, but not plenty enough; you'll want this film to never end. An interesting version is this Director's Cut, which features more emphasis on Riggs' suicidal attitude. If you want action, if you want hilarious comedy, if you want non-stop entertainment - you want LETHAL WEAPON.
