Hostage dramas have conventions; if "Pawn" skirts too close to them at the end, and has too many characters, it still keeps the game interesting.

"Pawn's" cops and robbers game could have been far better played.

Rated: 2/5

The Last Thing I See

A twisted web of story threads, layered narrative, and constantly shifting points of view. Though the film starts off strong-not great, but solid-it comes off the rails not far down the line.

Rated: C-

Creo que exageraron demasiado con los giros en el guión, fueron tantos que terminaron siendo ridículos y hasta confusos. Entretenida pero nada más.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

For all the big names in this movie I was surprised at how poor the acting was. Although his part was short Forest Whitaker was the most believable part played which is no surprise. The plot was ok but there were just too many parts that weren't played true to form. Bad guys lifting blinds with their guns... snipers could've taken them out if they were paying attention. The dirty cop walking around acting suspicious and talking with a stupid airy gruff. Just disappointed I wasted my time.

Boa trama, entroncada, cheia de mistérios, mortes, cérebro voando, reviravoltas, forçado em alguns momentos (vários), mas que podem ser relevantes se você aceitar degustar de uma entretenimento leve e despretensioso, adorável, grandes perdas no início e no decorrer do filme, plot twists de respeito, adoráveis embates...

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Forest Whitaker and Ray Liotta in a movie with lots of twists and too little plot. (Mauro Lanari)

A robbery at a diner goes wrong and soon turns into a hostage situation. Added problem is diner has links to Mafia.
