Last 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. Read full review

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 deftly funny. Read full review

Last 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. Read full review

Throughout Last Looks, the filmmakers tend to a conventional mystery that could have benefited from more satiric intention. Read full review

Altogether 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? Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

The 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. Read full review

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 you to call it cavalier. And his again edgy music choices. Read full review

Charlie Hunnam stars as Waldo, a maverick LAPD detective who quit the force and went from a star cop to a eco-obsessed recluse who decides to posses only one hundred objects at the time. His old flame, now a private investigator contacts him to help her with the case of famous British actor Alastair Pinch portrayed by Mel Gibson - now hamming it up in a network courtroom drama - accused of murder.

Waldo refuses the case but soon enough he gets sucked into it when his ex disappears.

Charlie Hunnam had a lot of success on the small screen but his big screen outings were somewhat overshadowed by IP or big name directors. This time it's the show that fits him well and showcases his strengths. There is a lot of Martin Riggs in Waldo but is this film the case of Mel Gibson passing the mantle to Hunnam like Garner passed it to him in Maverick?

In this case, maybe Sunset by Blake Edwards is the better comparison and in that film Jim Garner passed the mantle to Bruce Willis. However, I don't really feel Mel Gibson passed the mantle simply because even though Charlie and Alastair share the cause they don't share the action.

Mel's Alastair is a wonderful part and this is a great supporting role completely unlike his recent supporting outings in so-called geezer teasers. This is a fleshed out character and somewhat feels that the novel and the script were actually inspired by Mel. As we all know in his recent roles Mel Gibson pursued tortured characters with history of substance abuse seeking redemption and family reunion. And Alastair Pinch is just like that.

There are also minor details that feel like quips at Mel Gibson himself. For example he spoofs Hamlet, the character he played on screen in a kindergarten scene.

Even though, material is open to it - Mel never chews the scenery and he sure as hell doesn't overshadow Hunnam. It's a great supporting turn and a lovely reminder of just how good an actor Mel Gibson is.

Tim Kirkby's direction is precise. Hi staging is dynamic and Lyle Vincent's photography is crisp. It's a beautiful film to look at with great Los Angeles vibe and the cast of name actors surrounding Hunnam improves the film even though it could have drowned it.

The Howard Michael Gould spawned a series of books about Waldo. In the perfect world, this film would spawn a series of films. Unfortunately, private detectives never go out of fashion but they moved from cineplexes to streaming. It's a shame but that's our current climate. Hopefully this film will do well in streaming.… Expand

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.… Expand

(Mauro Lanari)
The director focuses on the eccentric and bizarre portrayal of an ex cop, neglecting the plot that gradually swallows everything including the characters and the protagonist himself.

You'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.

I like all the actors here, but dunno why when watching just the story didnt stick to me. Like at first it felt more confusing and then weird at times and at the end solved so quickly. Some parts were also a bit cheesy. I mean maybe the idea was good, but the movie wont be memorable at all.

"Last Looks" had potential given its cast but with Mel Gibson doing a poor imitation of Michael Caine and the film having an unaccomplished director, well, it's another Covid-era stinker from Hollywood, a waste of everyone's time, yours, mine, and the cast/crew.

I tried to watch it, really. Every five minutes, I was like, it's got to get better, but after the first 30-mins its lack of quality was clear, so I skipped to the last fifteen just to see how it ended and was predictably disappointed.… Expand
