I'd say this is one of the greatest action movies that came out in the early 90's, right behind T2.....Let me tell you something, that's what a action movie is supposed to be like, explosions, crazy action sequences.....It's nothing like watching a good, old fashion action movie....You know that you have a good, old fashioned movie, when you know there's no way in hell....The story's great, as well.... ...

The Last Boy Scout " is a superb example of what it is: a glossy, skillful, cynical, smart, utterly corrupt and vilely misogynistic action thriller.
