Synopsis

The Rookie (1990) is a crime action film from Clint Eastwood you can watch online on iFILM. Eastwood took the director's chair and starred as a hard-bitten detective working the auto theft beat.

Nick Pulovski has buried more than one partner. The latest is David Ackerman (Charlie Sheen), a kid from a wealthy family haunted since childhood by his brother's death. The pair close in on a ring of high-end car thieves, and its leader Strom — played by Raul Julia — takes Nick hostage. Getting his partner out falls to the rookie alone, which means facing down his own fear first. Sonia Braga and Tom Skerritt round out the cast.

The movie landed in Eastwood's run of straight genre pictures, slotted between his weightier work: blunt shootouts, car chases and the old hand-versus-newcomer friction. No pretensions, plenty of drive. Stream The Rookie (1990) online on iFILM.
