The original Lethal Weapon is very energetic and full of suspense. It has the right amount of comedy and action, it's a great buddy picture. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are perfect together and Gary Busey, who always plays bad guys so well, is dead on as Mr. Joshua. The movie has a good plot and the action scenes are fantastic. Richard Donner can be a very good director and this is one of his best. Shane Black's screenplay is well written and the editing and cinematography are very tight. There are a lot of cop buddy movies out there, but Lethal Weapon is one of the best.
