Critic Reviews

  • , TIME Magazine

    A cheerfully amoral movie that cannily caters to and satirizes our passion for cinematic violence.

  • Variety Staff, Variety

    Manages to be highly entertaining and sanctions all its violence by making the bad guys so despicable that death seems to be the only solution.

  • Geoff Andrew, Time Out

    What this sequel delivers is still the kind of high-speed roller-coaster action that producer Joel Silver's films often do so well.

  • Vincent Canby, New York Times

    The movie isn't going anywhere, but it goes in circles at top speed.

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    Mediocrity wielded by experts.

    Not quite as good as the first two, but honestly, how were they supposed to top two of the greatest action movies ever made? What's great here is that Riggs and Murtaugh are still as strong as ever, as is their new sidekick Leo. Rene Russo was a great addition to the cast and is… More

    Another dull 90's Action sequel, where I'm not entirely sure what the theme of the film was if I were to have to explain it to anyone, took several attempts to get through this one.

  • Chris W


    Things started to show some wear and tear by this point, but this is still a highly entertaining film filled with tons of laughs, great action sequences, and some really fun moments. Rene Russo is great as the newcomer, and Gibson and Glover are as reliable as always. Pesci isn't… More
