I stumbled upon the 2021 crime mystery "Last Looks" by random chance here in 2022, and seeing that them ovie had the likes of Morena Baccarin and Mel Gibson on the cast list, of course I opted to sit down and watch it. Since I hadn't heard about the movie, then I didn't know what to expect from director Tim Kirkby.
As it turned out, then Tim Kirkby's movie "Last Looks" sort of fell short of entertaining me. The storyline was just simply too slow paced and uneventful. Sure, the acting performances in the movie were good and the character gallery was colorful and detailed, but the storyline itself was just slow and rather mundane. So it made for inadequate entertainment for me.
Despite of having a rather good cast ensemble, with the likes of Mel Gibson, Morena Baccarin, Charlie Hunnam, Clancy Brown, Rupert Friend, Dominic Monaghan, Josh McDermitt and such on the cast list, then the movie was just a drag to sit through. The slow pacing of the narrative and the fact that I didn't really care about the events in the storyline made it particularly excruciating.
Good acting performances from the cast ensemble, though, I will say that much. But it just wasn't enough to make up for the shortcomings of the storyline.
This is not a crime mystery that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on.
My rating of "Last Looks" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.
