Last Hour

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.

I recently watched this movie (for free) and I was sadly, sadly disappointed.

The only situation in which I would recommend watching this movie is if you are planning on watching another movie in the near future, and want to have a new appreciation for it. After watching this movie, you'll be in awe over the cinematic quality of "Living Dead : Rave to the Grave" and think the dialog in "Meet The Spartans" could only have been written by Sir William Shakespeare himself.

Everything about this movie was horribly executed, from the shaky camera to the poor audio quality.

The characters are poorly developed; when the film goes out of the way to create a connection between two characters or a back story, you're not shocked or intrigued, but you're left thinking "aw, at least they tried."

The fact of the matter is that I've watched this movie 3 times now, and I still have no idea what's going on.

Also, the characters are all cliché, played-out stereotypes. The angry black man from Brooklyn, the single mother, the sexist anti-American Frenchman, the greasy Italian mob boss, the black-belt Chinese fighter, and the repressed-childhood-conflicted-overly-emotional-middle-aged white man.

In order to make this movie more interesting, I suggest playing a few How-Hilariously-Bad-Can-It-Get Games :

1) Count how many times DMX gets angry for no reason. 2) Count how many times they use the same track of footsteps in the background(You'd be surprised) 3) Pick out the scenes in which the actors clearly forget their lines and attempt to ad-lib it.

In conclusion, if you were planning on watching this movie, I would suggest doing something more pleasurable, such as shoving a fork in your ear. Or maybe a spoon, depending on your masochistic preferences.

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.

I've never seen this movie but i felt obligated to comment on yhayasaka's remark that "carradine, madsen and dmx aren't exactly A-grade actors". With the exception of dmx i find those comments to be a complete disgrace. How dare you insult two of the most dominating actors of our time with such filth, if David Carradine and Michael Madsen aren't A-Grade actors than i don't know what is. In case you forgot David Carradine was Kwai Chang Caine in Kung Fu, one of the greatest TV show of all-time, that alone absolves him from criticism and Michael Madsen's performance as Mr. Blonde in Reservoir Dogs is also something that deserves immense respect. Yhayasaka is clearly a fool to say such things about Carradine and Madsen's acting skills.

How could these professional Actors, Producers, and even the Janitor not see how horrible this movie was before releasing it? I assure you that if I had the money to re-make this movie I could improve it 999 per cent, and I have never made a movie, or even acted in a play. Heck! I have never been to a play, but I surely can do a better job then who ever the idiot was that made and directed this film! And the editor should have their fingers cut off so that they never again can butcher a movie this bad! Specially the ending! All you saw for the last 5 minutes is different scenes that did not make sense and where all mixed up. And the very end was not even related to the movie. It was like they cut it from another movie that happened to be laying around, and pasted it to this one. I wish I could line everyone up who had anything to do with this movie, and slap them for insulting my intelligence. Do they really think we are this stupid to except a film like this?
