The Rookie

Description

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, Lara Flynn Boyle and Tom Skerritt 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 piñata. The two drive through a wall to escape an exploding building…five stories up. Fasten your seat belt.
