Mindless, sadistic violence juxtaposed with rote sentimentality: this is how Hollywood has finally solved the family-values conundrum, the question of how to entertain the blood- and sex-starved masses and be morally proactive at the same time.
Top CriticIt matters little that the film is rife with non sequiturs, nonsense and nihilistic violence, because its heroes are so darn buoyant and charming.
Top CriticOne could argue about which Lethal Weapon is the best, but No. 4 is certainly the funniest, warmest and most idiosyncratic.
Top CriticThe relationship/humour stuff in Lethal Weapon 4 is pretty much excruciating, mawkish and inane... The second part of Lethal Weapon 044,the action sequences, are much better.
Top CriticThere's no plot worth describing, no repartee wittier than 'Oh shut up,' no acting moments that rise above the level of posing.
Top CriticGiven the expectations that constrain it, Lethal Weapon 4 is probably the best motion picture that could possibly result from another teaming of Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover).
Top CriticPardon me for having groaned in anticipation of what, in the full perspective-warping heat of the summer movie season, turns out to be one of the nicer blow-'em-ups around.
Top CriticLethal Weapon 4 has all the technical skill of the first three movies in the series, but lacks the secret weapon, which was conviction.
Top CriticTwelve years later, the franchise shows unflagging energy, inventiveness, humor. 4 rocks.
