The Last Boy Scout is typical action movie of the early 90's: bloody and full of one liners and bad jokes. That really is pretty much all there's to it, even tough we are shown the domestic problems of the detective.
So Joe Hallenbeck (Bruce Wills) is ex secret service agent, who even saved the president on his time, who is now days scumbag detective who neglects his family. He's given a job to protect pretty stripper (Halle Berry), who then gets herself dead and Joe and the boyfriend of the girl Jim Dix (Damon Wayans) go figure who dunnit and why.
There is lots of macho flexing all around and Joe even is this ultimate hardboiled type of a guy, who seems to be literally immune to pain. For what it's worth the action is okay, a bit outdated on todays standards, but it does work. It's not the best movie of its genre, but its not pure drivel either. With the right state of mind you can get whew laughs out of the jokes and kicks out of the action.
