Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

Not a well-oiled enterprise but more of a series of laughs separated by waits for more laughs. It has a kind of earnest, eager quality, and it's so screwy you feel affection for it. Read full review

Kenneth Turan

It's deftly done with an off-the-wall sense of humor joined to a real insider's sense of how the business operates. Read full review

Scott Brown

Teetering on an abyss of meta-wackiness, The Last Shot -- a movie about movie fakery, based on a true story about a fake movie -- succeeds modestly where, by all rights, it should fail miserably. Read full review

Tim Appelo

Appealingly cheesy, a tribute to the hope that springs eternal in the hopelessly inept. Read full review

William Arnold

Baldwin and Broderick each click in their roles and consistently rise above their material in every scene. But the movie around them falls flat and can't begin to sustain its premise. Read full review

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Unfunny and instantly forgettable comedy. Read full review

Steven Rea

Cross "Get Shorty" with "State and Main" - Hollywood hustlers, colorful crooks, crafty poseurs, and a production crew on location - and you have the stuff of The Last Shot. One other thing: eliminate anything funny. Read full review
