Reviews

Despite its stellar cast led by George C. Scott, The Last Run struggles to deliver a truly compelling narrative. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a modest 50% rating, stating that while the performances are solid, the plot feels disjointed and fails to engage the audience consistently. On the other hand, IMDb users rate the movie at 6.5/10, appreciating the atmospheric cinematography and the chemistry between the lead characters. Some critics have praised the film for its immersive portrayal of the underground world of criminals and for Scott's nuanced portrayal of a conflicted protagonist. However, others have criticized its slow pacing and lack of originality in the genre. Overall, The Last Run offers a mix of tension and drama but falls short of being a standout crime thriller.
