...cop; the taxi driver; tipsy Uncle Billy; the man at the window who watches George court Mary and tells him to "kiss her"; the good-hearted, decorously loose woman (Gloria Grahame)--they do what friends are supposed to do, which outwardly is not all that much. Bacon, Montaigne, Emerson and a few brave others who attempted to write essays on the subject failed to define friendship because, unlike romantic love, the emotion is generally undemonstrative; it is made up of the things we do not do--betray, belittle, be harsh.

Despite a handful of soft and serious performances, Gibson is for all practical purposes an action hero, to be forever associated with "Mad Max" and the swaggering, gun-slinging cop Martin Riggs of his four "Lethal Weapon" movies...
