The Rookie (1990) (Blu-ray)

"Tough and gritty. Fires with a full clip. Eastwood and Sheen are terrific together." > > > > > Packing years of experience and a .45 automatic, LAPD Detective Nick Pulovki figures he's got all the help he needs. He's also got all the help he doesn't need. His new partner is "The Rookie". Director/star Clint Eastwood is Pulovski. Charlie Sheen is the by-the book newcomer. Each reluctantly relies on the other to stop a killer-elite gang of auto thieves. Raul Julia, Sonia Braga, Laura Flynn Boyle and Tom Skerrit co-star with "the most spectacular action sequences Eastwood has ever filmed" (Dave Kehr, Chicago Tribune). A freeway becomes an 80-mph bumper car game. A barrio bar busts open like a giant pinata. The two drive through a wall to escape an exploding building... five storeys up. Fasten your seat belt...
