A more realistic portrayal of a guy "playing" superhero than Kick-Ass. It reminds a little of Defendor, except here the hero can actually Kick-Ass and is not a deranged guy going around with a bat.
It's easy to think that this movie is cashing in from the Kick-Ass craze, but it actually was made well before Kick-Ass. And it seems it goes even further back because it is based on a comic.

Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning
Movie Count: 94
TV Ep Count: 45
Other  Count: 2
Time Started: 5:15pm
Plot:
Jason is back, hockey mask and all. And he's up to his old maniacal tricks in 'Friday The 13th Part V - A New Beginning'. This time he seems to have set his sights on the young patients at a secluded halfway house. And more than a few of his teen targets end up in half, in quarters... you name it, Jason does it.

My Thoughts:
This one I liked... but not as much as some of the others. Some of the characters are enjoyable... but others I just couldn't get myself to care about. I did like the younger boy, Reggie and his grandfather. I also didn't care for the twist at the end of this one. But it is still enjoyable for what it is... and glad I have it in my collection.

2016 TV Pilot Reviews, a review by DJ Doena

Lethal Weapon Website

Lethal Weapon @ IMDb

Roger Murtaugh is a 50-year old cop recovering from a heart-attack operation and is slowly easing back into active duty.

Martin Riggs is a guy with a death wish and Murtaugh's new partner.

Together they'll crack jokes and bad guys alike.

Nothing much to say premise-wise if you know the original movies. The basic story is the same, the setup is the same.

I'd classify the show as an action comedy because it shows from the start that it's not going to take itself too seriously. You can see that when a car chase takes place on the track of an ongoing Formula 3 (or something similar) race and none of the race drivers are in any way bothered by that or the fact that a guy gets hit by a bus and in typical Hollywood manner (Rest in peace/pieces, Delorean!) the bus will not even stop after the crash.

These guys are not going to solve their cases by staring at some CSI / NCIS high-tech gadget computer, they're going to do it the old-fashioned way.

It's a show where you can relax you brain and just enjoy the ride.
