You can watch The Last Boy Scout (1991) for free on Kanopy.

Somewhere in Los Angeles, the city of broken dreams, a stripper is murdered. Now, the private detective she had hired and her ex-footballer boyfriend are going to find her murderer... if they don't kill each other first. But the more they dig, the deeper they become enmeshed in a web of extortion, blackmail and corrupt politics hidden beneath the surface of professional football.

A cynical, rain-slicked Los Angeles serves as the backdrop for this razor-sharp collision between a weary private eye and a disgraced athlete. Expect biting dialogue and a relentless sense of urban decay that makes every punch feel heavy.
