Movie #405 - Lethal Weapon 3

Lethal Weapon 3
1992 - Rated R - 1 hr 58 min
Director: Richard Donner
Starring: Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, Rene Russo, Stuart Wilson, Darlene Love, Traci Wolfe

More mullet-ude and more Joe Pesci, but this movie freshens up the franchise with the addition of Rigg's love-interest Rene Russo.  She's the tough female cop who seems an unlikely match for him, but as with all similar cliches, they find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other.

And with the "dirty cop" premise to pull this plotline along, it's a solid entry into the franchise.  It also brings the duo into the 90s, although Gibson's hair hasn't gotten the memo yet.  Overall, this one offers a good crime to solve, a fun plot for viewers, and more great character development.  It's decent.
