Watch The Last Boy Scout For Free

Very disappointing...

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

When I first saw "The Last Boy Scout", it was during the school exam period (luckily it was a Friday night) and I had a chance to see it with a few of my friends. Being that I was a huge Bruce Willis fan thanks mainly to the Die Hard series and his knack for playing roles as a flawed hero lured into dangerous situations and always coming out on top. Being that it was produced by Joel Silver and written by "Lethal Weapon" alum Shane Black, the temptation was just way too hard to resist. It was great to see old Bruce go up against corrupt football gangsters while preparing for my mid-terms at the same time.Willis plays former Secret Service agent now private detective Joe Hallenback who has become lowered to drinking, sleeping in cars and making friends with a squirrel is assigned to protect a stripper named Cory (Halle Berry). Unfortunately, tragedy is struck when Cory gets killed by a hit-man and joins forces with her mad boyfriend Jimmy Dix (Damon Wayans), a former football star who's been banned for gambling and drug addictions. Moving forward to a cornucopia of impressive set pieces, the duo fumble their way into a bribery plot in which federal bureaucrats are going through measures to find a way to make sports gambling legal. And just like almost every 1990's action film, cars are being blown up, bad guys are getting killed and the one-liners are as cheeky as they ever were, marked with outstanding execution and clever delivery.It's a shame that this movie never gets the accolades it deserves, but if you get the chance to watch it, you won't be disappointed. Aside from the the excellent performances from the leads by Willis and Wayans, the supporting cast was equally impressive as well especially from Bruce McGill, Noble Willingham and Taylor Negron. Shane Black's script may at times feel like a brain-stormed idea for a "Lethal Weapon" movie, it still succeeds to bring a smile on the faces to those who like fast paced action scenes and sardonic humour to go along with the scenes. The dialogue is quite spot-on as it's smart and even through multiple viewings it never once gets stale. This may not be late director Tony Scott's best work, which is not a well argument due to all the exciting stuff you see here. Sure the original screenplay was doctored a bit, but it's still far from being a complete dud. The escapism couldn't be any better with high adrenaline inducing action along with scintillating characters and a story that pulls no punches, this is another fine line of classic action films that the 1990's was famous for.If I have any gripes, it would have to the Blu-ray features because it doesn't contain any kind of extras. And sure it might be a bit too pricey to have a full-fledged documentary of film regarded by the critics as a dud, it would've been a treat to see interviews from performers and crew in making "The Last Boy Scout". Other than that it's a very well-crafted film with a lack of any behind the scenes coverage. Kind of sad when you think about it. Makes the forgotten all the more forgettable.

This is another fun cop movie starring Bruce Willis. Again he plays a cool, charismatic, smart mouth cop that shoots first and asks questions later. It shows his arrogance as an actor slightly in this. But the character Joseph "Joe" Cornelius Hallenbeck (Bruce Willis) is somewhat of a boy scout type cop. Because despite his way of bending the law to get the job done, his heart is usually in the right place. He seems to be trying to hard to appear cool in this but they make a reference to it in this. This is a fun action cop movie that doesn't take the turn for the overly dark and serious tone. Instead it has the right amount of humor that compliments the violent action and explosions. Halle Berry also makes her early appearance in this as a seductive dancer. But the shocker is how Danielle Harris who plays Joe's bratty loudmouth daughter with some charm would grow up to be pretty and sexy as an adult. It shows that average looking kids can grow up to be handsome or pretty. While sometimes cute kids can grow up to lose their looks. Overall, it might not be a classic cop movie but it's still a fun ride.7/10

Plot: A down and out cynical detective teams up with a down and out ex-quarterback to try and solve a murder case involving a pro football team and a politician.This film is always fun to watch from start to finish. Whether it's the Opening scene, the introduction of the characters, or the style of the film that the late great Tony Scott brought to it. Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans have really good chemistry with each other which is surprising since you wouldn't think with that combination that it would work, but it does. The supporting cast also does well especially the late Taylor Negron who plays a great henchman to the main villain. The other big reason this film works is the great script by Shane Black who knew how to write witty dialogue especially in this film, Lethal Weapon, Long Kiss Goodnight, etc.This film is a must see for action fans, you will definitely have a good time with it.

Bruce Willis just turned 60 this month, March 2015. In honor of his milestone birthday (I'm 10 years older than Bruce!) I watched this movie, on DVD, for my first time.Bruce Willis plays Joe Hallenbeck, he is a former secret service agent who took gunfire to save the President a few years earlier. Now he is a small-time investigator in Los Angeles, and not with a very good reputation among the cops.In a small role before she became well-know, Halle Berry plays a stripper ... uh, exotic dancer ... who needs protection, so Joe is asked to take that job. He doesn't do it very well, she is killed execution-style shortly. It is all tied in with football and an unscrupulous owner who wants to prolong illegal gambling, and he is in cahoots with a California state senator.Along the way Joe gets help from the girl's boyfriend, ex-pro-QB, Damon Wayans as Jimmy Dix. Together they work to avenge the girl's death and to put the bad guys in their place. Lots of shooting, car chases, explosions, etc.This is not a good movie in the usual sense, lots of foul language, even from the 12-yr-old daughter, but it is a good Bruce Willis action movie.
