Reviews:

Decent action flick, rubbish buddy cop movie.

The reason for the latter is that Clint Eastwood and Charlie Sheen just don’t really work as a pairing, when I think of great buddy cop duos – see the preceding ‘Lethal Weapon‘ or the succeeding ‘Rush Hour‘ – I always recall the banter and that the two are subconsciously looking out for each other. Here, it just felt like Eastwood and Sheen weren’t connected – despite being policing partners.

The action elements help raise this film from the depths though, as all the set pieces and stuff like that come off – there’s one scene that Michael Bay would love, I’m sure. The support cast are alright too, I recognised – among one or two others – Xander Berkeley and Tony Plana.

Despite those (minor) positives, the initially mentioned parts override them in ‘The Rookie’. These type of films need to make you love watching the two leads together, but here I simply didn’t – they make for an average partnership, at best.

***Eastwood’s forgettable detective flick with Charlie Sheen***

This is another Clint Eastwood cop thriller. What immediately comes to mind? The five Dirty Harry films, right? Or “The Gauntlet” (1977)? All great or near-great Eastwood cop pictures. So you’d expect the same from 1990’s “The Rookie,” costarring Charlie Sheen as the sidekick. Well, you’d be wrong.

Something keeps “The Rookie” from attaining the heights of those other Eastwood cop films. It even pales compared to “Tightrope” (1984) and “Blood Work” (2002). Don’t get me wrong, there are some entertaining elements and the thrills certainly pick up in the overblown last act, but the flick’s too contrived and even falls into camp territory at times.

Furthermore, Sheen’s unconvincing as a tough cop who can singlehandedly take down a bar on the wrong side of town, not to mention the miscasting of Latino’s Raul Julia and Sonia Braga as German villains. While Braga is stunning, she’s not utilized to her potential; neither is Lara Flynn Boyle. Meanwhile Tom Skerritt is wasted in a trivial role as Sheen’s rich dad.

So this is a disappointing, even laughable Eastwood cop flick and rightly forgotten. The constant macho f-bombs don’t help. Still, there are enough engaging moments to make it worth catching if you can laugh with it.

The movie runs 2 hours and was shot in the Los Angeles area.

GRADE: C/C-

Not Too Bad
I stared at this movie on the shelf for about 4 weeks before I finally took a chance with it.

Clint Eastwood who directed and starred in The Rookie, plays a cop who looses his partner one night on a bust. Eastwood, swearing revenge, goes after the killers. The next day, he is immediately partnered up with a young and upcoming rookie (Charlie Sheen) and together the two set out to find the killers. The killers, a sneaky group of car thieves, is headed by the late Raul Julia, who plays his role exceptionally well.

Now the title of the film and the name of the director can be very misleading. The Rookie can lead you to expect something different from it, but it turns out to be typical buddy stuff. I think that Raul Julia is totally miscast as a the villain. It is kind of hard to imagine him as a German.

Is The Rookie all bad? Naw. There are quite a few good and funny action scenes. The funniest being Charlie Sheen’s second venture into a biker bar. Seeing him constantly yell, “Come on, Motherf**kers, come on!” is absolutely hilarious. Also, the scene where Charlie Sheen drives his motorcycle through the front door of his house to save his girlfriend from one of the bad guys is pretty good too.
