I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

LETHAL WEAPON 4 is a crowd-pleasing final instalment of the long-running franchise, one with a Chinese twist that gives it freshness and momentum. This time around, Riggs and Murtaugh are on the trail of a murderous Triad organisation, and all of the regular players come back. I saw this on release at the cinema and really enjoyed it; Gibson and Glover successfully recapture the old magic and Jet Li is simply phenomenal as the best villain of the series. It certainly improves on the forgettable LETHAL WEAPON 3.I will make this clear, though: LETHAL WEAPON 4 isn't a perfect film. The script is sub-par at times and Chris Rock's shtick soon wears thin. Joe Pesci and Danny Glover are reliably good, but Gibson's character is a bit off and obnoxious at times. Rene Russo also has too much screen time with a one-note gag and that never-ending ending threatens to reach RETURN OF THE KING levels of cheesiness at times. However, the plot is solid and the action scenes are quite remarkable, the inventive freeway chase giving Gibson's stand-in some proper stunts to work with. Li is kept in the background but shines in his fight scenes, and that dockside brawl at the climax is a real zinger.

This is the final, so far, action-packed cop sequel pairing up once again Mel Gibson as Martin Riggs and Danny Glover as Roger Murtaugh on a mission to stop a Chinese crime lord and his notorious triad from slave trafficking and releasing four dangerous criminals. Gibson and Glover continued their crazy but great-teamed partnership and delivered much humor to keep the film engaging enough to go along with the mad rush of all the action scenes. From the Riggs' daredevil freeway car chase with a triad member during rush hour traffic to Murtaugh's personal dilemma with his daughter marrying a cop, the story is fast-paced from start to finish. In his first appearance in a Hollywood movie, Jet Li proves he is one formidable villain to be reckoned with, showing off his awesome martial arts moves (it's particularly fun seeing him grapple around with Gibson and Glover) and delivering his quiet and serious, but sinister self. As an action hero star, it is an interesting seeing Li take on the role of the bad guy. There is also some added drama and suspense during the scenes where Murtaugh's takes in a band of smuggled Chinese refugees who are entangled in the triad's scheme. Joe Pesci appears again as fast-talking and sometimes annoying Leo Getz, but you actually get to see a more serious side to him this time, and Chris Rock appears as motor-mouth Detective Lee Butters. The constant rambling of his loudmouth personality can be excruciatingly irritating, but it was pretty funny seeing him drive Glover crazy. And, Kim Chan plays the crime lord and leader of the triads - an actually humorous performance and not so much sinister. I loved the line where he correct Gibson in pronouncing "fried rice." Quite a few overzealous acting, but overall, it's a smashing sequel that closes out the Lethal Weapon trilogy pretty well.Grade B

Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) are at it for a fourth time. That means more nuttiness from Riggs and more complaining and hoarse groaning from Murtaugh. Lethal Weapon 4 was good for one standout reason: Jet Li.Jet Li plays the bad guy in this one and does a good job at it too. His martial arts skills makes for some nice fight scenes. Of course there was the comedic element of Lethal Weapon 4 in Joe Pesci and the addition of Chris Rock.Honestly, for a fourth installment of a movie, LW4 was pretty good. Most franchises fall flat by part two and if they make it to a part three they have totally unraveled. LW4 bucks the trend and performs soundly.

An R rated sit-com, oh sorry, an R rated action sit-com. Clichéd comedy, tired stunt scenes, everyone just mails it in from their trailers'. The only thing missing from this movie would be a ghost or a talking baby its so silly and hackneyed. Every moment telegraphed to the audience long in advance, joke coming up here your next left, two rights from now comes a fight scene. Let us lament the fortune spent so we might see this movie. Oh well we could have built a house, or a bridge, could have built a park maybe have some bike trails for that park, could have saved some inner city school from failure, could have provided quality dentistry to impoverished hillbillies-oh yeah could have spent that money on making a better movie.
