Last Hour

Having watched some of David Carradines's previous movies and not to mention the 1970's TV series, "Kung Fu," which, was suppose to have starred the late Bruce Lee, I must say that I was very surprised to his just not his name but also that of DMX. What on earth were these two thinking when signing on the dotted lines for this movie? Four men and a woman get a letter, signed by their father, three years after he has died and they meet at a bunker in China. It starts with action as all five of them are surrounded and then we get swept into the past. But the whole thing drags on and on.

This stars DMX, Michael Madsen, Pascal Caubet, Bettina Antoni, David Carradine and Monica Cruz.

Yes! The action is good but story line drags on and on and by the time the whole link is revealed, be aware, you may have just fallen asleep.

Conclusion: Extremely poor.

this is one god awful movie. it has very poor scripting and there's no continuity or flow with the story line, which is also confusing and hard to follow. terrible acting all around. OK, so carradine, madsen and dmx aren't exactly A-grade actors, but u'd expect something a lot better even by their standards. even using penelope cruz's sibling cannot give any credibility to this debacle. i can't point out one good thing about this film at all to be honest. director pascal caubet should look for another day job. even the film catwoman with halle berry looks like an Oscar winning masterpiece compared to this pile monkey crap. poor action, poor story line, poor acting and poor me for wasting 105 mins of watching this. i don't normally write reviews on anything, but this is so diabolical that i had to do it. BE WARNED!

There is no plot. The movie can't tell if its a action film or a suspense film.

The Acting isn't very good. Everyone just likes to drop the F-Bomb.

I finally figured out what was happening in the movie after about 1 hour of randomness, figured out isn't the right term, but could follow the storyline... not that there was one. The whole movie cuts from scene to scene and has no cohesion. And in the middle of scenes the movie just cuts to a random shot of something. They even say "This is not a movie" when the two cops argue. I couldn't agree more, this isn't a movie its a waste of cinematic film and money. Nothing good happened in this film, except when the credits rolled and I left. Although I did enjoy the scene where one guy slapped a blood pack on his throat, it was very easy to see, pretty bad FX.

Instead of calling the movie Last Hour it should be called, Last 5 Minutes, thats all you'll need to watch to understand the movie since nothing important happens except in the last 5 minutes.

The cast seemed good, Michael Madsen, David Carradine, DMX... so the movie should be at least entertaining if not excellent, right? Couldn't be further from the truth.

The movie is as if it was patched, nay, slammed together with pieces that don't precisely fit. Add the complete lack of chemistry between actors/characters (as if they were shot individually in front of a green screen), and exaggerated, twitchy, uncommon reactions, and immense effort needed to follow what's even going on in the movie and equally as immense effort to keep watching and you get a movie nobody wants to see without having some sort of a weapon pointed to them. Some performances are spectacularly bad, not even B production class, something like high school play's rough draft.

Pascal Caubet: please stop making movies.

Sound department kids: did you even listen to what you've made?? If you wanted to make it sound like a 40 year old Sergio Leone movie, you succeeded, otherwise you failed like a spam commercial.

Carradine, DMX and Madsen: learn to recognize bad scripts? Also, never trust the French.

It's like Smokin' Aces meets Crash meets Usual Suspects with a twist. It starts out not half bad but then it just becomes awful. The script is so corny, boring, unimaginative, it made my head hurt. The action wasn't too bad, it just needed something more. This whole movie needs an overhaul, because it could be a really really good movie. The script just absolutely killed everything. It's like a 6 year old wrote it. The action wasn't polished but it kept you interested until the dialogue kicked in. I am still mad at the fact that somebody put this out as a final version. Do they not have editors or somebody to critique it before final print? This was a waste of money and a good idea.
