Lethal
Weapon director Richard Donner helms this action-adventure yarn in which
Robert Rath (Sylvester Stallone), a veteran, burned-out hit man for hire
who's looking to leave his profession, meets a younger, crazier, more
ambitious competitor, Miguel Bain (Antonio Banderas), who is out to best
Rath and make him a target in the process. Rath signs on for one last hit,
but complications ensue when he falls in love with the mark, a beautiful,
mysterious woman named Electra (Julianne Moore). Bain sets out to murder
Electra as well, and the chase leads the two assassins into a deadly game of
wits that takes them from Seattle to Puerto Rico. Critics and audiences both
turned away from this thriller, which was co-scripted by Bound
writer/directors Larry and Andy Wachowski and L.A. Confidential screenwriter
