Lethal Weapon 4

release year: 1998
genre: action/drama
viewing setting: most recently, 5/2/03

synopsis: Riggs and Murtagh must deal with family as well as criminal issues.

impressions: This was more like a "one last time" movie than something meant to be new or fresh. It will make no sense to one who hasn't seen the other three, and it won't be any fun for someone who didn't see and enjoy the other three. It had some good action (courtesy of Jet Li) and some funny lines and scenes, but I'm fairly sure that the series needs to end. They've tapped out all the real action, and shown us how the main characters are all getting too old for this stuff.

acting: Good - all of these people are comfortable in these roles, and it shows.

final word: Good entertainment, but you really need to be a fan of the LW series.
