Lethal Weapon 3
Riggs and Murtaugh pursue a former officer who uses his knowledge of police procedure and policies to steal and sell confiscated guns and ammunition to local street gangs.
Critics Sentiment
Riggs and Murtaugh fail to defuse the office building bomb
Murtaugh kills gunman who turns out to be his son's friend Darryl
The film drops significantly from the spectacular opening bomb sequence to the emotionally heavy moment when Murtaugh kills his son's friend Darryl, then recovers for the action-packed finale
Critics consistently praised the explosive opening as the series' best sequence, but found the middle portion meandering with weaker plotting and character development. The film recovered with strong final action sequences, though most reviewers felt it was the weakest entry in the series due to formulaic writing and loss of the original's darker edge.
