I actually enjoyed the movie. Gibson and Jodie Foster had solid chemistry and displayed strong comic timing. Good action scenes, James Garner, the original Maverick, was used properly with a big supporting role instead of a cameo.
Definitely one of Mel Gibson's best commercial movies from the 90s yet very few people talk about this movie. People bring up the Lethal Weapon movies all the time but rarely the original movies Gibson did.
