The lightest of the first three films, Lethal Weapon 3 finds everyone occupying comfortable positions like students who always choose to sit in the same classroom seats. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover return as LAPD partners whose working method consists of the former diving into danger and the latter holding back. (The sequence set in the parking ... review details

Most Certainly Not a "dead issue!"

| First off, to paraphrase Riggs (Mel Gibson) anything I say 'ain't gonna be much' but I'll try anyhow. This, the third film in the Lethal Weapon series, is MUCH better than other reviews here and elsewhere say. Although 2 and four are my absoloute favorites, this is a GREAT film in and of itself. The acting is worth noting first of all: Mel Gibson gives his usual, very good, 'Lethal Weaponish' ( if you will) performance and Rene Russo really brings the character of Lorna Cole to life but I'd say without a doubt that the best acting comes from Danny Glover and Stuart Wilson. For his part Glover takes the hints of real drama farther than the end of LW2 and delivers a performance I beleive to be beyond any other in the series. He is funny early on but wondefully intense and half-crazed later on especially in the scenes where he is drunk and where he interrogates a teen gang member to trace the origins of a gun. Again I cannot emphasize enough- the opening moments of Rigg's and Murtaugh's dialogue on the boat is chiilling, all thanks to Mr. Glover. At the other end of the character list, Stuart Wilson gives a deliciously evil and pun-cracking performance as non-chalant ex-cop Jack Travis. Moreover, the pure intensity in his eyes during the finale and the over-the-top nature of his character make the best LW villain sicn Arjen Rudd of LW2 (the wonderful Joss Ackland.) Of course using the profits from his illegal activities to build a housing development is bit of strange, out-there idea but looking into it one can see that greed is behind it all. More high-points the script. The humor, the drama, the characterization, the romance. It is all there and in my opinion, never was it better balanced out in the sequels than here- especially with a poignant and powerfully acted subplot involving Murtaugh shooting his son's friend in self-defense. The action- the usual, exiting chases and gun/fist fights- are top notch and some unusual ideas are thrown in as Riggs kills one Travis' cronies by throwing gas on him in a burning building. Overall the pacing is great, with the opening setup especially welldone ( wait until you see it!) and the suspense and exitment don't let up, with the finale particularly satisifing and in many ways, admirably clever. Finally, the direction, angles etc are great as are the sunts (amazing really, music (praise to Clapton and Sanborn here) and FX. Well worth seeing for the emotionally mature and those who can stomach a little gore (prepare for the afformentioned Murtaugh subplot to painful and hard to watch, emotionally speaking.) 5/5 |
