"Lethal Weapon 4 (1998)" Movie Reviews
OK...
so the language is gratuitous. Just having Chris Rock on set put it
over the top. But his acting aside, I thought this was a worthy addition
to one of the best cop/buddy series around. It was enjoyable to see the
characters we love deal with the inevitabilities of aging and the
fierce loyalty of friendship. Some of the mystery is gone and it feels
like a pair of comfortable shoes. But aren't those shoes your favorite
ones? It was interesting to see the development of Lorna and Riggs'
relationship, as well as the growing up of the Murtaugh kids. It makes
you feel like you're catching up with old friends at a reunion! Plenty
of action and the incredible work of Jet Li make this movie a favorite
at my house. Overall, a great wrap-up to the series and a lot of fun for
long time fans. Worth seeing! If the language is a real issue, watch
for it on TNT and enjoy the edited version.
