	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Lethal Weapon 4 has all the technical skill of the first three movies in the series, but lacks the secret weapon, which was conviction. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Leonard Klady Variety	"It matters little that the film is rife with non sequiturs, nonsense and nihilistic violence, because its heroes are so darn buoyant and charming"	POS

United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	The characters remain funny and likable (...) have aged well and the storytelling wisely made room for new blood."	POS
United Kingdom	Andrew Collins Empire	"Entertains but this classic cop franchise doesn't end on a high (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU

United States	Stephen Thompson AV Club	"[It piles] on garish digital explosions, pointless chases, endless rants, and implausible derring-do"	NEG
