The Rookie (1990)

Second viewing; previously viewed in November 16, 1991.

A young policeman is assigned as partner to a veteran one, at the auto theft division. The older cop is obsessed with catching a notorious gangster responsible for a huge number of car thefts. They catch him at last (plus his girlfriend and accomplice), but the rookie makes a mistake and the bandits escape taking the veteran cop as hostage.

This has an extremely formulaic plot, but it keeps the viewer entertained; also, the action sequences are well done.

Rating: 38 (up from 24)
