Review of The Last Boy Scout (1991) by Stuart K — 08 Oct 2008
A very good and very exciting action thriller from director Tony Scott and Lethal Weapon screenwriter Shane Black. This has private detective (former secret agent) Joe Hallenbeck (Bruce Willis), who is assigned to keep an eye on Cory (Halle Berry), the girlfriend of disgraced former football star Jimmy Dix (Damon Wayans), however, when Cory is murdered in a drive-by shooting.
Hallenbeck and Dix team up to find out who is responsible for the shooting, alot of explosions, property damage and shooting follows afterwards!! :P One of those big, dumb action films from the early 1990's, and one of the more violent offerings.
But, it makes for very entertaining viewing, and Brucie and Wayans make a good team, and director Scott keeps a good eye on the action, (he's always good when it comes to action films), and Brucie comes up with the wisecracks which pushes it into comedy territory, but what would you expect from a film from this era?? It's good fun in the long term!! :D.
