The Rookie

The Rookie (1990) – With only minor changes to the script (which isn’t great, although it does have a couple of very nice moments), this easily could have been Dirty Harry 6 or possibly even Dirty Harry: The Next Generation; Clint’s direction is mostly adequate, as usual, but much of the film is too dark and Raul Julia and Sonia Braga are even worse “Germans” than Alan Rickman in Die Hard; the film’s second bar scene is particularly interesting given madman Charlie Sheen’s recent antics. 5
