The Last Lullaby (2008) Reviews
Wow!! A beautifully crafted film full of twists and turns.
The movie was enthralling at every twist and turn and despite the topic, that of a retiring hit man, it turns into a psychological perspective on being alone and making things right in a world that has gone wrong. The chemistry between the actors is palpable, despite both characters being introverts, and is a testament to the talent of Alexander and Sizemore, as well as the writer and director. The pacing and sound of the film hold you throughout and Goodman's approach is a breath of fresh air in a craft so often overly commercialized and mass produced. It is like eating artisan baked bread without any preservatives versus a baguette that rolls off an assembly line. It is fresh, organic, and real.
provocative and thrilling mystery
The Last Lullabye was a very provocative and thrilling film. The actors, Tom Sizemore and Sasha Alexander, were well cast and captured the story lines in every detail. It was a fast moving plot. The cinematography was realistic without being too graphic. The young director, Jeffrey Goodman, is one to watch for future projects. Director Goodman's attention to detail and ability to translate the plot made for a very intensely interesting picture. The music chosen heightened the dramatic effect of the film capturing the intensity of the plot. The Last Lullabye should be a "must see" picture for mystery film enthusiasts.
Wonderfully taut thriller
It's hard to believe this is a first-time feature effort for director Jeffrey Goodman. It passed my ultimate movie test: I was never bored for a moment, nor did my attention waver. The spare dialog, the juxtaposition of the loud, jarring gunshots with the quiet pace of the movie, the inexorable drawing-together of Price and Sarah, were woven together beautifully to create a memorable movie. Tom Sizemore says volumes without saying a word. His tortured face and body language say it all. The fact that this is something of a comeback film for the brilliant Mr. Sizemore, whose past behavior has not been consistent with his talents, makes it even more delicious to watch. Bravo to Jeffrey Goodman for a terrific movie!
A great suspense story of a hit man whose target is someone to whom he is attracted.
Does he kill her or does he not? The Last Lullaby from first time feature film director Jeffrey Goodman holds you in suspense in the plot-driven film that has enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. His casting is brilliant as Tom Sizemore's intensity and inner conflicts are so realistic that somehow the viewer finds himself pulling for this hit man. Sizemore's intensity contrasts perfectly with Sasha Alexander's vulnerability. His character Price has been hired to kill her, but how can you kill someone who has been a victim for so long? Goodman's treatment of the narrative by Max Alan Collins and Peter Biegen employs a brilliant combination of non-graphic violence against a pastoral, yet frequently menacing backdrop. His gorgeous panoramic shots contrasted with extreme close-ups is unusual in a film with this size budget. His deliberately slow pace enhances the suspense and is a much needed respite from the noisy,frenetic world in which most of us live. His audio is at the proper decibel level, and his choice and use of music is the best that I have witnessed in any recent film. I predict great things for this talented director.
I would see it again!
I loved the movie...very intense and full of action, yet with the true feel of the characters life story. The cinematography is great. The beauty of the outdoors was brought to life. Director Jeffrey Goodman did an excellent job of not being graphic with the story line. The entire movie kept you waiting for the next "thriller". I don't think Mr. Goodman could have done a better job in bringing this short story into a full film for the public to enjoy. Editor Phillip Harrison did a superb job in the editing of the close up shots of Price and Sarah learning each other and working to bring each of their lives into play..and to decide how the "situation" would be revealed. This is a very effective and hard hitting thriller right down to the director and stars.
