The Last Boy Scout

I saw this when it was released. I can't believe its been thirty years. Crap. 30 years? I'm getting way old. I remember leaving the theater with a lot of complaints. The cinematography is good and the casting is good, but the script and the direction is not worth my time. The opening scene, no matter how dramatic, I can't see ever happening in professional sports. In all the years of the NBA, NFL, MLB or NHL there has never been such an incident. There was so much potential for this movie and it is just a mess of garbage. Two leading actors wasted on a terrible script.

Over the top action from start to finish, and one of the funniest movies I've seen in 30 years. Damon Wayans and Bruce Willis seem to be just the perfect match or mismatch for a buddy team. I loved all of the bad guys in this movie to. love the one handed punch where he killed the one bad guy. basically a football owner is doing some shady things these days, and a guy dies on the field. and our hero is thrown into action,, he's down on his luck,, wife and him our having severe problems,, teen girl distant, and out of touch with her father. the movie takes a look at professional football gambling,, then goes one step further as somehow it is all connected to politics, with a state senator I believe,, Bruce character at one point in the movie has to decide whether to pick up a cigarette of the ground and smoke, it he looks at it, and says yeah i'm a deadbeat, and picks it up,, what a classic line.. wonderful fast paced actioneer not to be missed.

Bruce Willis legendary private detective Joe "i don't give a ****" Hallenbeck. Snappy oneliners, sheap jokes and lots of action. Bruce looks like someone who has been partying for a week, not shaved, showered, combed his hair or changed clothes. Why? Because he doesn't give a ****. And he is perfekt for the part. Hilarious.
