"The Rookie" 1990 is a fairly good movie, but it's not great. Strangely, both Eastwood and Sheen delivered their lines terribly: awkward, lame, and uninterested. Sonia Braga isn't all that great in this movie either. Lara Flynn Boyle is so hot, as usual, and I forgot to rate her acting. Raul Julia seems to be the only one capable of saying his lines convincingly and with menace. When a movie is loaded with great, famous actors, and they are doing badly, I am thinking someone else is to blame, and I'm looking at Clint Eastwood. Other than the stiff acting, the movie is fun to watch, and entertaining. When David finally gets mad, and goes off on a mission to rescue Nick, you find yourself saying, "It's about time!" And mentally, you feel yourself saddling up your horse. // The Bushwacker 8/28/2021.
