Action & Laughs - what more do you want?
2 March 2007
OK, it may have been stretching it to go for a fourth Lethal Weapon film. I mean, do you remember Rocky 4 or Death Wish 4? But, this film was a departure from the rest and, as such, deserves some credit for what it tried to do. You can't argue with a film that includes Mary Ellen Trainor, Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, Rene Russo, Chris Rock and Jet Li. There is going to be action, there is going to be comedy, and there is going to be some schmaltzy romance.

The addition of Rock, along with Trainor and Pesci was a hoot. The laughs never stopped throughout the movie. I am a HUGE Chris Rock fan and he did not disappoint.

The action in the film was hot and heavy. The only thing that was bogus was Gibson defeating Jet Li. Come on, nobody defeats Jet Li. He is indestructible and I refuse to believe that Gibson can beat him. But, I have to admit that this was the best fight sequence I have seen.

This is not prime rib, it is chocolate cake. Chocolate cake is good, especially with ice cream. So sit back, and enjoy your dessert. It doesn't much more flavorful than this.
