DVD Reviews of The Last HourDVD Review: I've Spent The 'Last Hour' Figuring Out How To Trash This Movie Summary: 1 Stars
I was saddened when David Carradine died but not surprised by how he died. Carradine was a wild man both onscreen and off and he made no secrets about that. It was this quality that made him so much fun to watch. What made him bearable in so many horrible straight to video films that he frequently appeared in. I've sat through my fair share of these clunkers. Films like 'Monster Hunter', 'Guaranteed On Delivery', 'The Last Sect' and even a David Faustino film for God's sake. 'Last Hour' isn't as bad as some of them but it isn't any better either.
Five thieves (including Michael Madsen, DMX, and the film's auteur writer/director Kobe) each receive a mysterious letter inviting them to an abandoned mansion in the middle of nowhere. The letters have supposedly been written by their dead fathers, all thieves themselves, who promise their sons they will not only learn how they died but also where the treasure they kept hidden is. I think that's what it's about but I don't really know nor do I care. What the film is actually about is watching terrible acting from the likes of Madsen, DMX, Kobe, Paul Sorvino and whoever the hell plays Mr.Casino. I thought this was supposed to be 'Last Hour' not 'Amateur Hour'. For example each one of the thieves is referred to by their nickname. Madsen is known as The Monk. Why is he called that you don't ask? It's because before he kills someone he always makes the sign of the cross. The film's only good parts involve Carradine as a cop a week away from retirement who gets the thankless task of playing negotiator with the bad guys. Fun fact: Penelope Cruz's sister plays his hot partner.
I don't know what else to say other than I'm almost positive I put more thought into this review than Kobe did his entire screenplay. The sound on the DVD is horrendous with dialogue barely audible and everything else echoing. If for some reason you wanted to hear what the actors are saying you couldn't. This was a recent film of Carradine's made in his last couple of years so fans might be curious about seeing it for that reason. Believe me it's not worth your time. He definitely livens things up and is good for laughs but his scenes are few and far between. You'll be doing a lot of fast forwarding to get to them.
