 Many memories. No technical director's choices, no epochal changes in the history of cinema, no excellent or terrible special effects, no original plot or not, no political messages delivered with irony, just so many beautiful memories and Bill Murray's face, this is a review made with the heart for a film that gave me so much and to which I would like to pay a small tribute; for the history of cinema, I'm sure you will turn to some encyclopedia, there are many even on this site, but I'm sure even the best film topping the list of essentials will never give you as much as a film tied to your memories.

 The Riggs-Murtaugh duo is perfect: the former is young, depressed, unstable, and very dangerous (a lethal weapon, indeed), the latter is older, cautious, and calm.

 If you're looking for two hours of unpretentious cinema, Maverick is what you're after.
