Critique: 7
Director Tim Kirkby successfully walks the line between sustaining a flip, irreverent tone and laying it all on a bit thick.
Mr. Hunnam is a charismatic center of attention, Ms. Baccarin perhaps more so for some of us, and Mr. Gibson, though doled out sparingly, is d...
Last Looks works best in its twisted often-incoherent plot, where no character is generic.
Kirkby does keep up a jaunty pace. But he also seems preoccupied with impressing his inner hipster, as with an attitude toward race that dares...
This film is totally stupid, but perhaps not stupid enough.
Altogether it would be pretty bouncy and fun if it didn’t have the wretched Gibson in it.
A passably shaggy genre piece, red herrings tossed about with the wilful eccentricity of a cyclist weaving down an LA freeway.

The first half inspires interest, the second is dedicated to Hannam’s narcissism. The finale of the lamp scene (near the end) is as formulaic as possible. Not much like a detective, no intrigue.

The movie didn’t work. Filmed like normal, but the script is uninteresting. If not for Charlie, there would be nothing to see at all. In general, I would like to see him in films on a larger scale. He is a good actor, he has an attractive appearance. Why hasn’t he made it to the big leagues yet?

The film is definitely for viewing at home, the plot is present, the actors no. I repeat once again: at home you can watch once without steaming)))

It’s like detective Columbo on minimum wage. Not a bad movie. The intrigue remains until the end, the scene with the fake policemen is very funny :) Morena, as always, is beautiful. It was a waste of time for Charlie to shave his beard. Became like a pedophile (the trailer with the curly-haired chicken is a dream))

Charlie Hunnam pulls a movie, Mel Gibson is good as always. I liked all these things with Waldo’s bicycle and a hundred things, and how at the end he told, as often happens in detective stories, what who is and why. For some reason I remembered Lieutenant Columbo. I liked it and would like a continuation
