• Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2006)

  [5/10]

  "Individual scenes did make me laugh, but no synergy takes place between the noir and parody elements to make Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang more than a well-made, well-intentioned curiosity."

• Last Boy Scout, The (1991)

  [4/10]

  "The Last Boy Scout tries to look like a Die Hard movie but never quite delivers a satisfying stream of action."

• Lethal Weapon (1987)

  [7/10]

  "The characters, plot, and action all mesh effortlessly. Most action movies sacrifice plot and characterization for the sake of action, but Lethal Weapon balances its action with a logical plot that truly demonstrates a need for the use of lethal force."
