Lethal Weapon

CriticsCritics: 75
AudienceAudience: 7.7

A veteran police officer is partnered with an unpredictable detective after a suspicious death leads them toward a heroin-smuggling operation. Despite clashing personalities and different approaches to police work, the mismatched pair must learn to cooperate while facing dangerous former military criminals.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like gritty 1980s action, mismatched partners, dark humor, and explosive police thrillers such as Die Hard; Not for you if dated excess and harsh violence are dealbreakers.
