Entertainment Reviews:
What this premise needs is a serviceable plot, but screenwriter Shane Block hasn't provided one. Indeed, for an action thriller, Lethal Weapon is unacceptably slow.

Philadelphia Daily News
Rating: 3/4 --
The story, which proceeds with inevitability, is enlivened by Donner's rousing action sequences.

Philadelphia Inquirer
Rating: 0.5/4 --
As action-adventure, it's pointlessly puerile, a movie where the heroes are so childish they try to one-up each other with fancy shots at the pistol range.

Chicago Tribune
Screenwriter Shane Black's explosive debut patented the modern buddy pic: brash, crass and dangerous to know.
Total Film
Unfortunately, while Black's assembled all the parts, he's not locked in the conflict early enough, and the good scenes simply aren't enough good to make up for the plot's too-late lock.

Hollywood Reporter
Thanks to a peculiar chemistry and a terrific script, Mel Gibson and Danny Glover lift this movie above mere TV-cop fodder.

Product Description:
Two tough Los Angeles cops, one who carries a lethal weapon (Glover) and the other who is one (Gibson), are teamed as partners in a highly unusual case involving a massive international ring which has its roots in Vietnam - a place they are both all too familiar with. This film, with its fresh, energetic combination of comedy, drama and action, has managed to spawn three highly successful sequels.
