Barely a day goes by in the Empire office without someone shouting "Dip-lo-mat-ic-imm-un-it-y!" in a bad Afrikaans accent: this is a film that has entered the public consciousness. There's inventive carnage, conspiracy, truly hissable bad guys (Joss Ackland and Derrick O'Connor), and the fact that it actually manages to surprise us by killing off Patsy Kensit. The first Lethal Weapon's rougher edges have been sanded off: this is heading more towards action-comedy territory. But it gets more brutal in a dark final act where the cast is dramatically thinned out.

The part that really convinced me that something special was happening was the wacky but inspired sequence in limbo, where Rasputin (voiced by Christopher Lloyd) has been moldering for the 10 years since his death. His old aide-de-camp, Bartok, an albino bat (Hank Azaria), "drops in" and informs him that Anastasia is still alive. In his excitement, Rasputin starts to fall literally apart, a fact to which he seems oblivious. Then, recovering his dark powers, he sends his minions off to kill Anastasia, singing "In the Dark of the Night," a wonderful mixture of rock and traditional Russian choral music, with a gaggle of wormettes providing backup.
