Tomor Rohi re Chuck Vinch staff write Ron m \ ii lethal weapon 3rated re must see Worth your time passable entertainment a coming soon to a video outlet near you and you can Wail in the opening scene of this film crazed cop Martin Riggs Mel Gibson and his Ever exasperated partner Roger Murtaugh Danny Glove manage to accidentally set off a powerful bomb Hal turns a High Rise office building into a pile of rubble. Too bad they have locked director Richard Donner and writer Jeffrey Doam inside before it blew. Donner and Boam scrape the Bottom of the barrel with the third chapter in Tiki increasingly silly series. At the outset of this concept a fair amount of attention was Given to Riggs tragic personal life and Murtaugh a appealing family which afforded the characters at least some semblance of depth. But that Sall thrown out the window As they re turned into cardboard cutouts one step removed from three stooges territory for this Outing. Everyone involved is a Shade too frantic and desperate As evidenced by the decidedly forced tone of the banter Between Riggs and Murtaugh that formed the heart of the first two films. The Flimsy plot has Murtaugh one week away from retirement a fact that docs nothing to Stop Riggs from dragging his buddy into life or death situations at the drop of a hat. After an irrelevant interlude involving a Chase Between two armoured cars on the freeway it is revealed that a rogue sex cop Stuart Wilson is leading your Standard Bunch of thugs from Central casting in stealing confiscated guns from police lockup and Selling them to local gangs. Yawn. The problem that overshadows All else Here is that there is no Way at this late Date to do anything remotely daring with the main characters for fear of upsetting audiences. So what you get is More of the same which Means bigger objects getting blown to bits More cars careening around the freeways and lots More automatic weapons being fired with abandon. The premise of lethal weapon 2 a South african diplomats dealing drugs behind their cover of diplomatic immunity a was farfetched but at least it was mildly diverting. That a hardly the Case Here. The Bottom line is simply that you be seen Alt this before and then some. Boam slavishly tries to follow the Golden recipe even reprising Joe Pes Cir a role of con artist Leo Getz from lethal weapon 2. But Here Leo is wedged into the Story like a size 10 foot in a size 7 shoe. He Snow a real estate agent of All things and he has absolutely no reason for being in this film. Even worse he s not nearly As funny As he was last time. The formula also demands a love interest for Riggs can to fool with that formula. This time its Rene Russo As Inteman affairs detective Loma Cole a a fast talking hard driving mean fighting cop with nerves of steel a according to the films publicity notes. You can Tell she and Riggs Are going to get it on when they Start playing can you top 77t/s with their War wounds. Russo a character is just As pointless As the rest of this flick. My outrage probably Isnit warranted strictly by the Quality of this film in itself. But when i stack it up against the first two lethal weapon films i can to help Seething about the Craven Way Hollywood uses sequels to gradually lower viewer expectations in order to reap Box office Bonanza with As Little creative Effort As possible. To be fair though movie makers keep churning out mediocre Mush like this if no one went to see it. This film had the second biggest opening weekend in history so we really have no one to blame but ourselves. Lethal weapon 3 is lethal All right a like an overdose of morphine. It gets 1 i stars mostly for old Imes Sake
