Noel Oakshot In Review Online 12/04/2023
Last Suspect boasts roughly the same level of sophistication and visual creativity behind it as any of the endless Chinese made-for-TV/direct-to-streaming exploitation films Go to Full Review
James Marsh South China Morning Post 11/29/2023
1/5
This lazily penned potboiler stumbles its way through a parade of procedural clichés with a blatant disregard for logic, legal standards or even plausible human behaviour. Go to Full Review

11/21/2023 You cannot tell the ending until last minute! See more 11/16/2023 An electrifying thriller par excellence, one where the twists and turns come mightily but one can still easily follow along. There are moments of crowd-pleasing triumph, savage brutality, touching emotion, and disturbing darkness, and the rich narrative never drags or seems stale. See more 11/16/2023 The ending is so unexpected! I like it! See more 11/10/2023 Pretty good movie, great ending. See more Mic T 11/13/2023 Very enjoyable, worth seeing in the theater. (I don't want to present any spoilers, so I will keep this brief.) This movie is tricky, and you are going to have to stick with it to the very end to get the full story. It starts out quickly, then slows down for about 20 minutes or so, then it starts picking up pace. It is well-crafted, and the primary characters (a lawyer, her daughter, and a police office, the lawyer's childhood friend) are extremely likable, which draws you deeper into the story. If I had anything to complain about, it would be that the build up to the final confrontation in court seems a little rushed. The director uses some flashbacks to fill in what happened though. Most of the show seems very PG, but there is some pretty extreme violence when you see the murder in a flashback and at another point I won't explain. I don't think it is over done though, and the final act of violence adds to the intensity of the emotions being expressed. All in all. It was a very well-crafted, enjoyable-to-watch movie, and worth seeing in the theater. See more Read all reviews
