Leave your thoughts about The Last Boy Scout.
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyA slick, big-budget exploitation movie that's preposterous, foul-mouthed and gratuitously violent, but also a great deal of fun. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe Last Boy Scout is a guilty pleasure by any standard, but I’ve seen plenty of guilt-free movies lately that aren’t this much fun. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe Last Boy Scout is a superb example of what it is: a glossy, skillful, cynical, smart, utterly corrupt and vilely misogynistic action thriller. To give it a negative review would be dishonest, because it is such a skillful and well-crafted movie. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrThe Last Boy Scout will win no year-end awards, but at least it delivers the goods-which is more that can be said for most of this year's holiday releases. |
| Orlando SentinelJay BoyarThe Last Boy Scout is overwrought, extremely violent, has a relatively unbelievable winding plot, perhaps the foulest mouthed teen ever, tons of low lives everywhere, lots of shots to Willis’ face, and is actually a pretty entertaining effort, an undeniable guilty pleasure. |
| The SpectatorVanessa LettsViolent, chauvinist and funny, and I enjoyed it tremendously. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt's a slick, dumb, exciting, implausible, surprising movie, told quickly and cleanly. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzEverything seems mechanical, forced and contrived. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyMr. Scott directs the film as if he were trying to win a prize for demolishing a building in record time. The opening is good: stylish video images of a night football game played in a torrential rain, climaxed by the only scene in the film that has legitimate shock. After that, the brutality and the pace don't slacken, but interest does. |
| Boston GlobeMatthew GilbertThis is a movie for the boys who like watching men being real men - cursing, shooting and fighting - and anyone who likes this kind of wham-bam entertainment will certainly get more than their money's worth. |
