This is one of my favorite buddy films ever.

Bad Boys 2 was fun, in an amusement park sort of way, but ultimately was just another loud, boorish popcorn flick. Lethal Weapon is a classic. Brilliantly written, and its influence over future action/buddy was game changing. LW2 for the win.

It reminded me alot of die hard while I was watching it, but I don't think it's as good. I still enjoyed this movie though.

An enduring buddy film, brilliantly combining drama, comedy, adventure, bloodshed.
