The legendary Clint Eastwood directed & starred in this extremely underrated Action Thriller from 1990.
My favourite Eastwood movie & my favourite Sheen movie. The Rookie is easily one of my favourite movies, making my top 10 list.
The legendary Clint Eastwood is at his best here in my opinion, he's very funny, no-nonsense & plays by his own rules, a perfect veteran movie cop.
The Rookie is my favourite Eastwood movie & my favourite Sheen movie, they worked so well together. Often Sheen is forgotten about, like how good he was back in the day when he was hot stuff. Sheen was excellent in 90's popcorn Action Thriller's like, Terminal Velocity & Shadow Conspiracy. I'm big fan of most Sheen's work from back in the day.
I can honestly say that out of this cracking cop thriller the bit that I've taken from it or that's always stayed with me is Charlie Sheen's performance!!! Sheen is excellent & his bar fight scene is the standout part of the whole excellent movie.
Also another gem is the direct-to-video Action cop thriller, No Code Of Conduct, he stars with his real-life dad Martin Sheen.
Eastwood plays Nick, a veteran Detective assigned to the grand theft auto division & having recently lost another partner to a shootout he's assigned a new fresh Rookie in the form of slick-looking David Ackerman, a truly show stealing & knockout performance from the underrated Charlie Sheen. Sheen plays a young but deeply troubled Cop who lives with the tortured fact that he lost his little brother when they were young by accident but Ackerman blames himself & there for is full of guilt & sadness & Sheen masterfully portrays him. Sheen's character David Ackerman grows as the film goes, he goes from timid, scared & very unsure of himself to a raging vigilante with nothing to lose & his performance is outstanding. Ackerman reaches boiling point & then he goes crazy & those moments are the best of the movie, I can't say enough about how awesome Sheen is in this movie.
David Ackerman is my favourite movie cop ever, Sheen nailed the role to perfection & is actually one of the best & most underrated action stars of the 90's.
Eastwood & Sheen make an excellent team on screen & have a great villain for the piece with the legendary Raul Julia (The Addams Family, Street Fighter) a truly fantastic actor & screen presence (RIP) & here he's suave, slimy & great fun.
The Hollywood Legend Eastwood gives another great turn as another tough & no-nonsense hard Detective, similar to his Dirty Harry personality & he directs superbly with some Awesome action scenes & fun moments sprinkled throughout. The action in The Rookie is explosive, bloody & raw. There's a brutality to the fights & shootings in this brilliantly cop thriller that makes it feel authentic & very dangerous. I would put The Rookie up there with Lethal Weapon as one of the greatest cop films ever made.
The big standout sequence/scene to me has always been the part where Sheen goes to the rough & tough dangerous biker bar & lets loose his rage as he takes on everyone in his way!!!! It's a truly Amazing action sequence & Sheen is terrific.
I've loved this old school Cop Thriller since having it on video way back in the 90's & it's like a fine wine as it gets better with age, especially during these Super hero & CGI obsessed spectacles that's taken over Cinema!!! The Rookie is a gorgeous looking movie with a sprinkle of Noir & set in a dark Los Angeles that feels very dangerous. All that complete with a fantastic old style jazz score & directed perfectly by Eastwood himself.
The Rookie is old school filmmaking with all the action cop Thriller trimmings & an Awesome cast, excellent cinematography & Awesome music, all the ingredients that make a memorable movie.
Everyone forgets how Good Charlie Sheen was back in the day!!!
Also great in Terminal Velocity, Shadow Conspiracy, The Arrival, Beyond the Law & more.
& Eastwood, well we'll never get another Eastwood & who didn't grow up on Clint Eastwood?
Eastwood along with Schwarzenegger was a household name growing up & their films were such a huge part of my movie-loving-world & childhood so i have huge Nostalgic love for Eastwood (& Schwarzenegger)
The Rookie is definitely one of my favourite cop films that i hold a big Nostalgic spot in my movie-loving-heart, i loved it on video back in the 90's & consider it one of the most underrated action thriller's of all-time.
