Packing years of experience and a .45 automatic, L.A. detective Nick Pulovski figures he's got all the help he needs. He's also got all the help he doesn't need. His new partner is The Rookie.

Overview

Veteran cop Nick Pulovski is used to playing musical partners; many of the partners he's had in the past have died on the job, and often as a result of Nick's risky tactics. But the rookie who's been assigned to help Nick bust a carjacking ring is almost as hotheaded as he is … and when Nick gets kidnapped, his newbie partner is his only hope.

A review by GenerationofSwine
Written by GenerationofSwine on 2023-05-14
There is a movie with James Woods that I keep mistaking for this one.

Anyway, it falls under the "What did you expect?" category of flick. It's not good... it's not bad either. No one expected it to be a box office bomb, no one expected it to be the next big thing either.

They set out to make a fun and entertaining throw away cop movie and that was exactly what they ended up making, a fun and entertaining action flick.

And that is all it is, something to like and throw away, so it did it's job.
