In 1990 movie The Rookie. Actress Sonia Braga plays as villainess Liesl. An iconic 90s action movie and iconic villainess played by the amazing Sonia Braga.
I don't get why this movie look and sound so good, like even the fonts used look so cool, this is a movie from the 1990s, how come it looks way better than most movies made today!!
We see the gorgeous Liesl for the first time when she blocked the cop Nick Pulovski while he was following his target..
Nick Pulovski partner was shot dead, and Nick Pulovski went in a car chase after the one who shot him, I know you would never a car chase like that in any modern movie.
I absolutely can't get it, how such beautiful peace of art, a movie, an actual movie evolve to the trash we see today, like this movie looks incredibly good, the camera movement, the sound, everything. Like even the cigar Nick Pulovski is smoking would have to be censored in a modern western movie, it's insane.
We see our villainess around 20 minutes, god, she's so beautiful, a goddess.
Nick Pulovski a character which is obviously good, if made today Hollywood would probably say he's a villain, they go like "You want a villain? Here's your villain!!" basically a villain for them a hero who is willing to cross the line to achieve his noble goals, so what about actual villains? Well, you can't get that due to censorship.
Sonia Braga is really good playing her role, I love when actors can act with their eyes, it's very rare today, most actors tend to be bland, like giving statement and memorizing lines and just repeating it, in many case, it's hardly acting, not only her to be fair, all actors in the movie are really good, like Raul Julia is also great actor, and he's the main villain of the movie too, RIP 💔💔💔.
I don't know why IMDB says this movie a dark comedy, this movie is Drama, just because Charlie Sheen in it, doesn't mean it's a comedy!!
Around 45 minute, both Liesl and Strom caught the one who was spying on them, he tried to go and she kicked his ass, then shot him..
Anyway, around 50 minutes Liesl and Strom were trying to steal a vault, yet they didn't know that the cops were waiting for them inside, yet Liesl saw David Ackerman AKA the rookie nervous and exploited that, then shot him three times in his back.
Around one hour and 17 minutes Liesl have fun with Nick Pulovski after they took him as a hostage.
Meanwhile his partner David Ackerman is doing everything he can to find him.
Basically, Nick Pulovski manged to free himself, David Ackerman manged to find him and help him and around 1 hour 45 minutes, we see our villainous couple trying to escape leading to the final confrontation.
