The Last Boy Scout

dir. Tony Scott (1991)

Heavy-handed buddy action film, very male at every level of production, with a candidate for worst-ever-acted villain (Taylor Negron as Milo), yet also laugh-out-loud funny and boasting oddly exquisite, throwaway snatches of dialogue. The Last Boy Scout soars higher with every rewatch.

The Last Boy Scout

dir. Tony Scott (1991)

The film that, in development stage, donated its name to Die Hard (and could have been as big had it been made first). A serviceable action plot with Bruce Willis, plenty of tough guy moments and more memorable repartee than its precursor.
