The action film is carried to a rather intriguing extreme with THE LAST BOY SCOUT, a movie that pushes the world-weary detective stereotype to new, surreal levels. Joe Hallenbeck (Bruce Willis), is a shamus hired by his best friend to protect a stripper who is subsequently killed. her washed-up football playing boyfriend (Damon Wayans) hooks up with Joe to find out whodunit and why. Willis' performance and Black's screenplay combine to produce a portrait of a guy who is so down and out that our first glimpse of him is a shot of him passed out in his own car while being harassed by snotty neighborhood kids. throughout the whole film, Willis delivers deadpanned one-liners while constantly getting the crap kicked out him. BOY SCOUT is a guilty pleasure. it is mindless, formulaic, and particularly hateful towards women (and men as well) in spots with an uncompromisingly un-PC attitude that is very unusual in this day and age... and very funny. action films don't get any nastier than this one.
Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans are dynamite in this movie. Both play has-beens who had been much more in a previous life. Ironically the ones responsible for ruining their careers just happen to be seriously corrupt and when the two team up to stop them some wonderful action sequences erupt. This film is really a lot of fun if your looking for a nice action flick to rent. Though keep the kids away from it for it does contain a handful of bad language and violence. But it is really exciting and tons of fun and ranks with other good buddy action films like Midnight Run, 48 Hours, and Lethal Weapon. Check it out.
