Errores:

Boquete en la Historia: Hallenbeck's detective friend Mike Matthews spent the night at Hallebeck's house and left his white Mustang parked in the front of Hallenbeck's house (clearly seen when his Mustang blows up in the morning, killing Matthews). Since Matthews was Hallenbeck's best friend, he should have recognized the Mustang and known that Matthews was in his house or at least asked his wife if that was Matthews' Mustang.

In the early 90's, there was a definite, consistent presence in action movies: slow motion cinematography, wild gun-play, and funny one-liners. Granted, there are still some of those today (2004), but it just wasn't the same as back in the day. Now there are so many special effects in the current action films that it drowns out what used to be the great style of a "popcorn flick".

Die Hard paved the way for these type of movies, and some of the offspring of this did well and did not. The Last Boyscout was one that did well. This was a very intelligent and fun action/thriller/buddy-comedy that can still be enjoyed to this day. Tony Scott is the master of under-appreciated action movies in the 90's, such as this and True Romance.

My suggestion is to get a 6-pack, go rent this movie, sit back and enjoy the ride.
