The Last Boy Scout

An underrated Bruce Willis action feature from director Tony Scott, who was in good practise for his next film, Quentin Tarantino's True Romance. Essentially a buddy movie involving Bruce's character Joe Hallenbeck, a washed up private detective with a 100-a-day habit, and Damon Wayans as Jimmy Dix, a professional American football star kicked out of the game for taking banned substances, The Last Boy Scout possesses a savagely funny script hung on a plot as thin as Willis' hair, and plenty of ultra-violence.
