Lethal Weapon
Martin Riggs is an L.A. cop with suicidal tendencies and Roger Murtaugh is the unlucky police officer with whom Riggs is assigned and both have one thing in common: hating working in pairs. But they have to team up to uncover a huge drug-smuggling operation, and as their success rate grows so does their friendship.

Nothing, however, can really prepare audiences for the generally good, though offbeat, performances, gritty action and serio-comic exploits of the Good Guys vs. the Bad Guys.

Implausibility is a large part of the entertainment in this romp par excellence, with each overblown set piece becoming ever more ludicrous.

The story, which proceeds with inevitability, is enlivened by Donner's rousing action sequences.

What this premise needs is a serviceable plot, but screenwriter Shane Block hasn't provided one. Indeed, for an action thriller, Lethal Weapon is unacceptably slow.

As action-adventure, it's pointlessly puerile, a movie where the heroes are so childish they try to one-up each other with fancy shots at the pistol range.

[Gibson and Glover] make a great team, and some of their early adventures are exciting. But the film runs out of gas as it turns into an extended chase sequence.

Thanks to a peculiar chemistry and a terrific script, Mel Gibson and Danny Glover lift this movie above mere TV-cop fodder.

At center is the first big, juicy mythic-hero part Gibson has had since Mad Max.

From a distance, Lethal Weapon might appear generic, but a closer look reveals something special.

Unfortunately, while Black's assembled all the parts, he's not locked in the conflict early enough, and the good scenes simply aren't enough good to make up for the plot's too-late lock.
