Lethal Weapon 3 In many ways, the first Lethal Weapon can now be considered a standalone movie due to its raw, gritty nature about a suicidal, psychotic cop who finds his redemption in busting bad guys along with the love and acceptance he receives from the family of his new partner. The transition from those […]
Lethal Weapon 4 So now things come full circle for The Lethal Franchise. From being a dark, moody hardcore action movie in Part 1 all the way to Part 4, an unashamed, unabashed, goofball action comedy with a touch of a sitcom feel to it with the mostly comedic interactions amongst its various regulars, topped […]
