His marriage is on the rocks, his adolescent daughter has a smart mouth, he drinks too much, and he's broke. Hallenbeck takes an assignment protecting Cory (Halle Berry), the stripper girlfriend of Jimmy Dix (Damon Wayans), a former professional football player banned from the league for gambling. When Cory is murdered gangland style, Hallenbeck teams up with the former football hero to find the killers. Their search leads them deep into the world of professional football, politics, legalized gambling and sadistic hitmen. LETHAL WEAPON screenwriter Shane Black wrote the script for this violent, action-packed thriller directed by Tony Scott (TOP GUN, TRUE ROMANCE). Willis plays Hallenbeck with a sadistic glint in his eye and a deathwish. Wayans is convincing as Dix, an athlete who loses everything when he's banned from the game he loves and turns to drugs for consolation. [More]

Reviews for The Last Boy Scout
Delivers the goods for action fans and has some very funny moments -- but there's the nagging sense that it could have been better.
Overblown rubbish, with nothing to hang on to save the opening football field scene
Tepid action fare, but it signals flashes of things to come from Willis and Wayans.
Strictly for viewers who don't want surprises, just a laundry list of buddyisms.
