Lethal Weapon

Veteran cop Glover and young suicidal cop Gibson are paired together (and mismatched) to stop mastermind heroin-smuggler Ryan and his fearless goon Busey, with the former two using their dislike in partnerships and hatred for drugs as a bond to take down the latter two. Intense and edgy for its time; but with very little substance, it s now just another buddy-cop action-comedy that came from the 1980s. First movie to feature a cellular phone; however, its Gibson's mullet that seems more ancient than anything. A classic to many for being fun, witty and thriller; but it is ultimately a ride comprised of two-dimensional characters with a one-dimensional backstory, only to be thrown in a cliché conflict.
