Review of The Rookie (1990) by Shawn W — 09 Apr 2013
'Clint: The Crap Years'.
Just before 'Unforgiven' re-established the great star's legacy, he was peddling sub-Dirty Harry daftness like this 1990 effort.
It's on this list for a variety of dubious set-pieces. Sheenie's insufferable bar-room brawl antics and the chalk and cheese duo flying out of an exploding building in a black Mercedes add to the general silliness, but the biscuit is well and truly taken in a preposterous scene where Clint, captured by the baddies, is 'raped' by Brazilian henchwoman Sonia Braga.
Words fail.
