Lethal Weapon 2.
This one used to be my favourite, and while I enjoyed watching it while borrowing my friends box set I couldn't help but think only the first one was really any good. Though I still quite liked it...they made some decent action films around this time. Leaning a little further into the comedy routine with some funny dialogue and the addition of the rather annoying Joe Pesci, but still some solid action and relatively interesting villain/s, an ok storyline stringing it all together, and admirably with the events of/prior the first film as well. It's a reasonable sequel, and one of the better ones.

The Next 3 Days.
It was fairly watchable, with some very intense scenes.
Well acted, and a fun if not implausible overall "prison break" type storyline, with a couple of intelligent twists thrown in.
I don't usually like Russel Crowe at all, but he seemed good at the "normal" guy/husband/dad role and for once I didn't actually mind him at all.
It has a few dips here and there, but is quite edge of your seat a lot of the time too...couple of laughs, but overall a relatively sombre tone.
...Musical score borrowed a little heavily off LOST I thought.

Lethal Weapon 3
Still my LEAST favourite...I think it's because the whole thing feels a bit more like an episode of a cop/law drama? I actually found it pretty boring and didn't even watch the last half hour...the villain was just so...cookie cutter...
I mean it's "ok" but shit, even the 4th one was better than this, and that had fucking Chris Rock in it...
