A cheerfully amoral movie that cannily caters to and satirizes our passion for cinematic violence.

Reviews for Lethal Weapon 3
When you have actors of the caliber of Glover and Gibson doing this, it's bound to boost things a notch or two.
Lethal Weapon 3, although the worst of all four movies, is satisfying enough not only for fans of the franchise.
What this sequel delivers is still the kind of high-speed roller-coaster action that producer Joel Silver's films often do so well.
Although long in the tooth, Gibson-Glover heroics hold fast in franchise's third outing.
The worst in the series --s till an acceptable actioner, but more calculated than it's predecessors (and successor)
The trey runs together with the other films in the series, but that's a compliment, not an indictment, because every one is gripping.
They know what they're doing and how to do it, but we miss the sense of invention that brightened the earlier movies.
