There's certainly nothing wrong with that strategy, but it would have helped if Eastwood had a decent story to wrap around his commercial strategy. The senior star plays a grizzled cop with a smooth-faced preppie (Sheen) as a new partner. Their odd-couple shtick is as predictable as one would expect, with each man approaching the same job with a wholly different set of convictions from the other. Inexplicably, Eastwood also hired Raul Julia and Sonia Braga to plays Germans, but then the scene most people remember in this movie is Braga's rape of Eastwood--indeed an unusual moment. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating: - Eastwood on automatic pilot but...Clint Eastwood on automatic pilot is a lot better than some peoples best films, so make no mistake this may be the worst film ever that he directed himself but its still pretty good. In fact for me it would have been 3.5 stars. Its really a Dirty Harry film under another name, and with a decent cast including the always watchable Charlie Sheen its an easy way to pass an hour and a half. There are a couple of laugh out loud moments, especially the seat belt gag. Of course ... Read More Rating:  - Mercifully ForgottenClint Eastwood has always been one of the biggest movie stars in the world and it's not that we always want to see him do the same things over and over again...but he doesn't have a very good track record when it comes to comedy. If you've suffered through BRONCO BILLY or PINK CADILLAC, you know what I mean. They work about as well as playing Dirty Harry in a clown suit. From what I could stomach of THE ROOKIE, it's the same thing. I think most of it was meant to be a comedy. I think. ... Read More Rating:  - A lot better (and different) than its reputation suggests....I had pretty low expectations going into this film (the reviews have been generally negative), but I was surprised how much I liked it, and surprised by its tone. It has a reputation of being the 6th Dirty Harry movie in disguise, which is not true. Sure, Clint's character, Nick, has many similar qualities to that of Dirty Harry, but this film is a lot different than the Dirty Harry films. The film is rather dark, both literally and figuratively. The film takes place mostly at night in ... Read More Rating:  - Hey! This is a good film!I don't understand why there are so many slams against this movie posted here...this is a very exciting, action-packed film! Maybe these critics aren't Charlie Sheen fans or sumpin'...but this film kept me riveted all the way thru it! Clint's character, cop Nick Pulovski, has hints and traces of Dirty Harry Callahan, so fans of that series should enjoy this film; Charlie Sheen is the rookie detective who Clint gets stuck with as his new partner - Clint's old partner, played by Hal Williams ("Smitty" ...
