Bruce Willis, Halle Berry and Damon Wayons star in this action-packed mystery about a demoralized private detective, a washed-up ex-football star, and the stripper who binds them together. Somewhere in Los Angeles, the city of broken dreams, a stripper (Halle Berry) is murdered. Now the private detective (Willis) she had hired and her ex-footballer boyfriend (Wayans) are going to find her murderer ... if they don't kill each other first. But the more they dig, the deeper they become enmeshed in a web of extortion, blackmail and corrupt politics hidden beneath the surface of professional football.

Critics Consensus: The Last Boy Scout is as explosive, silly, and fun as it does represent the decline of the buddy-cop genre.

Reviews

Los Angeles Times

Michael Wilmington

A story about lonely heroism in a sick age should be a little hipper to what’s really heroic and what’s really sick.

When automobiles are not crashing, going over embankments or being blown up (the film's favorite mode of distressing a car), someone falls atop the rotors of a helicopter in mid-air. The body count is high.

It's very similar to Shane Black's previous scripts, but the action and the fast and funny one-liners almost make the film a five-star, must-see movie in the vein of Lethal Weapon and Die Hard.

Pointless and vile, The Last Boy Scout is a perfect example of what's wrong with Hollywood.

A few big laughs, a lot of big explosions and a ripping climax to boot.
