Its quite a violent film, but this adds to the effectiveness of creating an authentic motion picture that represents the twins. ... Read review

...comedy side than the first Lethal weapon, with many hilarious scenes, especially a rather bizarre scene in Murtaughs bathroom, involving a toilet, sandbags and a very robust iron bath..??? The storyline is easy to follow, making it a very enjoyable watch indeed, and the action/stunts are brilliantly placed within the movie, creating nearly two hours of complete fun and some edge of your seat action… And with the writers bringing in a little of ...
