Movie Review

Grade: A Lethal Weapon 2 was the last Lethal Weapon movie I saw and I must say I extremely enjoyed it. It's right up there with Lethal Weapon 4 in terms of comedy, action, and suspense. From beginning to the end their is destruction, gunfights, and car chases, filled with comical interludes between Gibson, Glover, and Pesci. No more is there any reflections on Gibson's past losses; he's not a homicidal maniac like he was in the first one. Glover is great and so is Pesci, though he is somewhat annoying. Lethal Weapon 2 is an awesome movie; an action fan should see it. Read the full movie review
