This is no ordinary drugs gang though. It is run by former special forces soldiers, who will stop at nothing to protect their operation. But when the kidnapp Murtaugh's daughter, they go too far. Riggs and Murtaugh forget they are cops and go after the soldiers.
The review of this Movie prepared by Tom Roberts




Two cops join forces to break up a drug ring. This is a fast-paced action film from beginning to end, with lots of shoot-em-up scenes, exploding buildings and violent confrontations. The film was so hugely successful that it was followed by three sequels. The action is on par with that of the Die Hard and Bad Boys films. There's also brilliant chemistry between Glover and Gibson.
