A good movie

Since me and my step-son Nick had watched all the Lethal Weapon movies, of course, we had to watch this one as well, even though it doesn’t really have a stellar reputation. Honestly, even though it was indeed not as good as the previous installments, I was surprised about how much I actually enjoyed it and, for a 3rd sequel, it was actually quite entertaining. Of course, the story was nothing great but what really matters is that there was still this great chemistry between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover and, in this genre of the buddy cops, they remain far ahead the rest of the competition. The other neat thing is that they managed to bring back Joe Pesci and Rene Russo, albeit with a reduced running time especially for Russo, but still with a satisfying result and they managed to bring also Chris Rock and Jet Li to the party as well. It was actually Jet Li’s first American feature, he was a really cool opponent and it was quite funny to see Riggs and Murtaugh discussing the fact that they should avoid fighting with him since they are not so young anymore and the guy is just a walking killing machine. To conclude, even though the whole thing pretty much followed the same formula, it actually worked and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
