The Rookie

Clint Eastwood's entertaining variation on the buddy-cops subgenre, with Eastwood as the volatile ex-racing driver, lumbered with green young detective Charlie Sheen.

An uncomplicatedly entertaining variation on the buddy-cops subgenre, with Eastwood as the volatile ex-racing driver investigating auto theft and nursing thoughts of revenge for a murdered partner while he's lumbered with green young detective Charlie Sheen. The accent is firmly on the action, while the supporting cast (Raul Julia, Sonia Braga, Lara Flynn Boyle) supplies the requisite colour.
