A funny action film that is must watch. BTW, this is much more of a Christmas movie than Diehard.

Greysky Morning

One of the best buddy cop movies of a generation. Also a good movie to watch at Christmas. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover at their finest

The ultimate buddy cop film with a great performance by Mel Gibson. It’s a classic and a film you can always turn to.

Good cop movie, a bit complexing, but worth the watch.

Classic 80s action. Mel Gibson is his best.

This may be the best buddy cop movie ever, with fun characters and a good story.

You will never go wrong watching this movie at least once

Rick Anthony McArthur

At least this franchise was an interesting new direction for Mel, after the craziness of the Mad Max legacy. Doubt there'll B a 5th story!

Tyler Edwin Nestor

Not as much of a Christmas movie as Die Hard, but still a damn great movie nonetheless. And yes, it’s also a Christmas movie.

The quintessential buddy cop movie, parodied & quoted countless times in pop culture, Richard Donner delivers a classic gem of the genre
