Leave your thoughts about Last Looks.
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyLast Looks works best in its twisted often-incoherent plot, where no character is generic. Everyone has a secret. No one is on the level. Surfaces lie. |
| Wall Street JournalJohn AndersonMr. Hunnam is a charismatic center of attention, Ms. Baccarin perhaps more so for some of us, and Mr. Gibson, though doled out sparingly, is deftly funny. |
| We Got This CoveredScott CampbellLast Looks doesn't bring anything new to the table, but it's a fun crime caper that makes us want to see Charlie Hunnam's Charlie Waldo again. |
| Slant MagazineWes GreeneThroughout Last Looks, the filmmakers tend to a conventional mystery that could have benefited from more satiric intention. |
| Screen RantNadir SamaraCrucially, Last Looks' groovy tone allows the viewer to simultaneously try and crack the case while never having to overly invest in the plot. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe plot is a tangle of storylines, alternate suspects, femme fatales and dead-end subplots which add up to little that isn’t obvious or that makes much sense. |
| The GuardianLeslie FelperinAltogether it would be pretty bouncy and fun if it didn’t have the wretched Gibson in it. Isn’t the industry awash with ageing stars that could fill the role just as well? |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyKirkby does keep up a jaunty pace. But he also seems preoccupied with impressing his inner hipster, as with an attitude toward race that dares you to call it cavalier. And his again edgy music choices. |
| User ReviewTVJerryWhen the movie starts, Charlie Hunnam has secluded himself in a trailer in the woods with a minimal lifestyle. A lover from his past (Morena Baccarin) talks him into returning to his former life as an LA police officer (disgraced, of course) to help solve a killing. As a murder mystery goes, the developments are pretty standard. Hunnam makes an effectivelly grubby, unassuming detective, while Mel Gibson plays the accused, arrogant English TV actor with aplomb. There's not much original, although Hunnam's character does possess some charm and Gibson is loads of fun. |
| User ReviewJLuis_001You'd think Charlie Hunnam would have better offerings than this washed out, incoherent tale that somehow manages to get a style entertaining enough to keep your attention even when the results are mostly unsatisfying. |
