Last Looks

I personally don't get on with arty style productions.

I hate that the camera is rarely straight and level or we have to watch the scene unfold from behind a fan, inside a cupboard or from the building opposite.

So at first I was not impressed by this.

But I did actually grow to like it.

This has a real film noir feel about it as the main character slugs it out with thugs between meeting with alluring fem-fatal.

There is a mystery here that you can solve yourself but it is not really Earth shattering.

I watched this with my girlfriend and we both enjoyed it.

The characters are quirky and interesting and I enjoyed the way the story unfolded in several layers.

I don't write many reviews so when I do the movie has to be really good (or really, really bad). This movies is funny, witty and keeps you guessing. Solid acting all around, not too long and had some quirky characters to keeps things interesting. Definitely one of the better movies I've seen this year. You could say this type of film has been made before and you're probably right - but it's unique and entertaining enough for me to easily recommend it.

The last movies I watched with Mel Gibson were not great but in Last Looks he actually did a decent job for once. Charlie Hunnam, eye candy for the women apparently, was also enjoyable to watch. Throughout the whole movie the acting was good and that from the whole cast. The story is a bit mysterious, a bit Noir which is normally not really the genre I enjoy a lot, with a slight pinch of humor. It's not fast paced but the story is intriguing enough to keep your attention for the entire duration. Better than I thought it would be, good enough to watch once.

This kinda detective thrillers used to be regular in the late 80s n early 90s.

This one reminded me of Chinatown too.

The movie is not at all boring n moves at a decent pace.

There are many poorly developed characters n the only flaw i found is rather than making it into a dark n tension filled murder mystery, the makers opted it the more comical n light hearted approach.

The movie is not bad at all.

Very good performance by Hunman and Gibson.

Very slow at the beginning but it's getting more and more interesting as the story unreveals.

But the sound... One of the most annoying sound experience in a very long time. Not because the music is bad, but because the volume levels are so uneaven. Dialogs are quiet, then loud, then quiet, music almost always is much louder than any dialogs.

I couldn't watch it without headphones. Just impossible if you like your neighbours and want to understand what the dialogs in the movie are at the same time.
