Lethal Weapon 3

Save

Summary

Action comedy thriller starring Mel Gibson, Danny Glover and Joe Pesci. Days before he is due to retire, detective Roger Murtaugh, along with his partner Martin Riggs, is demoted after an attempt to defuse a bomb results in the destruction of an office building. But the maverick cops' return to the beat is short-lived, and they are soon back in plain clothes and in hot pursuit of a former cop now involved in gun running.

Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

John Ferguson

The Lethal Weapon series just gets progressively dumber. It's meant in the nicest possible way, however, as mindless mayhem doesn't come much slicker than in these action extravaganzas starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover as mismatched cops. Even though the law of diminishing returns is starting to have an effect, the sheer scale of the set pieces in this second sequel will keep fans more than satisfied. This time around, Gibson gets a girl after his own heart (cop Rene Russo with an equally impressive collection of battle scars), soon-to-retire partner Danny Glover looks more worried than ever, and Joe Pesci finds himself the butt of the duo's jokes. Stuart Wilson, meanwhile, takes over from Joss Ackland as the obligatory imported British villain and enjoys himself immensely as the former cop-turned-monstrous crime lord. Disengage the brain and enjoy.
