The Last Boy Scout

Bruce Willis stars as Joe Hallenbeck, a disillusioned former Secret Service agent who has hit rock bottom as a detective for hire. His marriage is on the rocks, his adolescent daughter has a smart mouth, he drinks too much, and he's broke. Hallenbeck takes an assignment protecting Cory (Halle Berry), the stripper girlfriend of Jimmy Dix (Damon Wayans), a former professional football player banned from the league for gambling. When Cory is murdered gangland style, Hallenbeck teams up with the former football hero to find the killers. Their search leads them deep into the world of professional football, politics, legalized gambling and sadistic hitmen. LETHAL WEAPON screenwriter Shane Black wrote the script for this violent, action-packed thriller directed by Tony Scott (TOP GUN, TRUE ROMANCE). Willis plays Hallenbeck with a sadistic glint in his eye and a deathwish. Wayans is convincing as Dix, an athlete who loses everything when he's banned from the game he loves and turns to drugs for consolation.

    The mismatched buddy movie reaches an apotheosis of sorts here in director Tony Scott's flashy, foul-mouthed and formula no-brainer, which forsakes plot for overblown shoot-outs and endless car chases. Lifting it marginally above the thick-ear realm is the engaging chemistry between seedy gumshoe Bruce Willis and ex-footballer Damon Wayans. Both actors let humour spring effortlessly from their own personalities as well as from their screen characters, and the snappy put-downs make the epic mindlessness bearable.

    a hell of a factory re call

    a really cool film with a really great double act. willis has never been tougher than this ,even as the ultimate burnout and tony scott has never been sharper. an absolute classic,

    certainly up there in the top five of all action films,without a doubt

    This film has a lot of bad jokes in it but some, especially the comments that bruce willis's character makes, are quite funny. Don't let the oldness of the film set it back though, it is a classic and i deffinitely liked it.
