LETHAL WEAPON RETROSPECTIVE - PART 1: LETHAL WEAPON (1987)

Classic Joel Silver-produced 80s action flick which helped forge what the action film of the future would look like, alongside Die Hard a year later, another Joel Silver film with many of the same ideas. The plot takes a while to get going but the writing's snappy, the action scenes well shot and there's some definite chemistry between cop leads, Danny Glover and Mel Gibson in his US breakthrough (you can still hear his Aussie accent in places). Not perfect, but still entertaining.

Any film at all (old or new) you want me to review? Just post a comment.
