The Rookie is an early-nineties film that stars Clint Eastwood and Charlie Sheen (yes, Mr. Tiger Blood himself!). In the film, Clint plays a grizzled police detective (think Dirty Harry lite) and Charlie plays his new "rookie" partner who apparently has ulterior motives for wanting to become a police officer (i.e. to piss off his father, proving that "art" imitates life after all!). Anyway, Clint's character is obsessed with finding a certain bad guy played by the late Raul Julia and his MILF-esque partner played by Brazilian actress Sonia Braga. It's pretty standard cop "buddy" drama fare . . . except for one notable difference: This film raised eyebrows for its rape scene showing--and, no, I'm NOT making this up!--Clint Eastwood strapped to a chair after Raul and Sonia kidnap him and she straddles him and . . . well, you know! Clint's character gets revenge--sort of--when Charlie's character shoots Sonia's character between the eyes. (Subtle this flick most definitely AIN'T!) So, if you've been dying to see Dirty Harry get, shall we say, buggered by a MILF-esque Brazilian actress, then The Rookie could very well be the flick for YOU! A sidenote: With regards to his nutty-ass "speech" at the Republican National Convention where he "spoke" to an empty chair, just what the fuck is it with Clint Eastwood and chairs anyway?
