Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid It reminded me of the recent Killshot; it's not bad, just a bit uncomfortable in its own skin. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 12, 2009 Full Review Steve Rhodes Internet Reviews If more movies were as well designed and realized, going to the theater would be dramatically more satisfying. New filmmakers should look at it as a paradigm on how movies should be made. Rated: 3.5/4 May 21, 2009 Full Review Linda Cook Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) 3 starsA strong character study with a fascinating leading man, "The Last Lullaby" is a worthwhile thriller that's noir-ish and surprising.Tom Sizemore is Jack Price, a retired hitman who seems to be lacking something in his life after a bloody shoot-out Rated: 3/4 May 2, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I actually thought the movie was better than I expected. A hit man falls for the lady he's suppose to kill but once he learns her story, he not only wants to ease her pain but maybe in some way end his own. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Ran across this movie recently, and it took a while to overtake my early impulse to leave it before investing more time. I thought the acting was quite solid, the storyline well constructed, but found the developing relationship not convincing enough, through no fault of the acting, just the lack of chemistry. Spoiler alert: the finale left two very loose ends. First, would Sarah not be the prime suspect leading to an uncertain or unpleasant future, and was that even thought out; second, will there be more to their relationship than the finale transaction. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie has been done several other times, and by far better directors. Sizemore does what he does within his limited palette of acting skills. Sasha Alexander is as wonderful and underrated as always. But to claim in any logical or genuine review that the two have any chemistry is laughable. Without that chemistry, there is nothing that holds this movie together. It is a paint by numbers movie using crayons as opposed to oils. It falls flat. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent in every way. Those who have not seen this are missing a fine piece of filmmaking in every respect. Kudos to Tom, Sasha and the director. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent in every way. Those who have not seen this are missing a fine piece of filmmaking in every respect. Kudos to Tom, Sasha and the director. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I really enjoyed "The Last Lullaby". The first twenty minutes of the movie got me really intrigued and held my attention. Tom Sizemore was great in this one, making his character quiet and mysterious but also thoughtful and kind, and this film shows us more of what makes Sizemore such a wonderful actor. There were many suspenseful moments in this film, where I wasn't sure what was going to happen next. And by the end, I really cared about the two main characters - I wanted them to be together and for them to win against their odds. There are also plenty of heartfelt moments to be had in "The Last Lullaby", and although the ending didn't quite tie up all of its conflicts and questions at the end, it was still a very good movie for me, and I very much enjoyed the ride. :) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
