INTRIGUING - GREAT PLOT, May 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Last Hit [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Intriguing story line. A CIA assassin, (Brown) decides that he has had enough and backs out on his last hit. He gets involved with the daughter of his target.
However, being able to retire from the agency is a little more difficult than he imagines with surprising consequences. Brown is, as usual, very good as Michael Grant.
Beautiful scenery, set in the hills of New Mexico.
When is the sequel????

Nice-Looking Film; Where's The DVD?, March 8, 2009
This review is from: Last Hit [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I'm sorry this this was never put out on DVD and apparently got almost no notice while out on VHS. I found it to be a surprisingly good movie, one I really enjoyed. It's not super, but it's certainly worth a look, especially if you like Southwest U.S.A. scenery.
What I really appreciated was the beautiful colors in here and a pretty clean movie, language-wise. There is no nudity, either, so why this is rated "R" on the back of the video box is a complete mystery to me. That has to be a mistake.
What the film could have used was a bit more action, especially in the middle of the film when it begins to drag a bit with the romance, but it was still an intriguing. This was my first look at Brooke Adams since the 1978 film of Days Of Heaven, one of my all-time favorites.The male lead, Bryan Brown, has a rugged face which was perfect for the New Mexico terrain in this story.
Speaking of "Brown," the brown hues in this film are awesome, from dark to golden. I have never seen so many shades of that color together and it looks fantastic. As mentioned, I would love to see this movie on DVD.
Story-wise, it is a nice low-key movie most of the way except for a violent, shocking ending.
