Comedy/Crime Film That Doesn't Work. - Last Looks review by GI
This comedy crime thriller is a sort of satirical hard boiled detective thriller that all seems to a bit silly and tries far to hard to impress. One of the main issues is that Charlie Hunnam, desperate to be a top leading man, just isn't the right lead here. He lacks the charisma and comedy chops to carry this off effectively and he's not aided by the presence of Mel Gibson. Gibson seems to think that playing a suspected wife murderer who is an eccentric doting father and can quote Shakespeare will help with his rehabilitation into the cinema going public's hearts. He's miscast here and far too ridiculous. The story is that Hunnam plays Waldo, a former über LAPD detective who has now shunned society and lives a pseudo monastic life in a caravan in the woods. He gets recruited by a Hollywood producer to look into the death of the wife of big shot TV actor, Alistair Pinch (Gibson). The police think Pinch did it and the studio would prefer that this wasn't the case! Reluctantly Waldo takes the case cycling back and forth and looking like some throwback rag 'n' bone man. Various characters pop up as the conspiracy unfolds. Clancy Brown and Lorena Baccarin support but are woefully underused and Rupert Friend is the cartoonish Hollywood big shot. The comedy is not funny enough and the action tame and the romance thrown in makes little sense. Not a film I would recommend.
