If you don't go in expecting too much there is lots to enjoy in this behind the scenes of a movie studio murder. It doesn't take itself too seriously and has lots of licks of a film noir, but a much lighter mood.

I liked it. Probably not enough to watch over and over, but it works as a piece of solid entertainment, and hits the right buttons to make for an entertaining frolic.

Hunnan was standout - I have never seen him in anything but enjoyed his performance. Gibson was good, as usual, if a bit over-the-top with his British accent. But it fit the caricatured mood of the film so it's all good.

If you're going to watch something, this one's not a bad choice... a good story IMO- carried by a great cast and a crew who knew what they were doing- and it had enough distractions that I didn't know whodunnit until near the end Gibson was great but he's not the main character.

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.

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.

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.
