an all time action great, stands the test of time well. this stamped gibson into the hall of fame, even though mad max got him started.

In my opinion the best action/comedy/buddy film of all time with Mel Gibson as suicidal loose cannon maverick cop Martin Riggs mismatched with partner Roger Murtaugh (Glover in one great comic role), who is constantly reminded of his age and the danger he's constantly in: solving a drug-linked homicide of Murtaugh's friend's daughter. Busey is memorable as an albino mercenary, Mr. Joshua, unsusceptible to pain.

The pace never slows, the jokes never miss and the stunts never disappoint in this macho-dream of an actioner.
