Review of The Rookie

The Rookie (1990)
7/10
Good relaxing movie!
14 January 2006
Some people can dislike Charlie Sheen or Clint Eastwood. Of course, there are some reasons to dislike every man - maybe except Jesus Christ! But such negatively preconceived opinions can not make a real picture.

Here we have a movie of an average plot class, but, methinks, with good actor playing. Clint is perfect as a skilled and dried cop (just as in the '88 Dirty Harry series, 'The Dead Pool' - by the way, one of the best from the collection, maybe even better than 'Magnum Force'), and Sheen is good as a police neophyte. Their relationship is quite intriguing and is shown pretty good!

This is not Shakespeare's work, no one shall expect something swashbuckling from this movie: it is just a relaxing film to 'take a couple of Budweiser, belch twice and go to bed' - or how Clint Eastwood exactly said to describe a good evening. Very optimistic and amusing film. Such movies must be!
