“Lethal Weapon pioneered the buddy-cop genre that people think of today. Good cop and bad cop have origins here as well.

Forget about it this is Shane Black at his finest macho shoot 'em up standards. And it's fun. Two cops, two Vietnam vets, two wonderfully colorful characters come together to solve a murder that grows and grows and grows until it becomes appropriately over the top and action packed fun.
