A waste of 90 minutes of my life

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Jack Price (Tom Sizemore) is bored with hit-man retirement and takes one last job. His mark is Sarah (Sasha Alexander), but he has a problem. He's falling for her. The money or Sarah? What to do ? What to do? The money or Sarah? Inquiring Minds are lining up. By what you have read so far, you think you know what Price will do, don't you? Oh, you are a romantic. Don't ever change. But, let's get back to our story in this reality. Price knows what he should do, but should he? Keep in mind that a scorpion is always a scorpion before anything else. Is Price a scorpion? Still the romantic? Hmmm………I just love hit-man stories. Somewhere in the story, the hit-man will tell us he has only 4-rules and as we go along in the story, we learn that he will break at least 3-rules if not all. So what happens? Humanity happens. Will humanity hit Price?This is a very good cat and mouse story. You know who the mouse is, but you are not sure what the cat will do. Yes, yes, scorpions and humanity yadda, yadda, yadda. Do you still think you know what Price will do?This is, perhaps, one of the best hit-man stories I have ever seen (ranks with Hit-man with Timothy Olyphant; and BANGKOK DANGEROUS with Nicolas Cage), but it is not a shoot'em up. No, this is much slower and we don't mind because we still don't know what Price will do. The pacing throughout is just right. And, the story becomes more complicated and twisty than I made it sound earlier. Ah, all the better. Tension and suspense come in at the right moments as the story builds to an unexpected conclusion. Both Sizemore and Alexander pull this off to perfection and the supporting cast couldn't be better. Are the Inquiring Minds still lining up? (9/10)Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: Yes, some in the beginning only.

First of all the Last Lullaby was AWESOME! BRILLIANT, and TASTY! It was just what I wanted to see in a IFC type of film. To me it was like eating the best piece of cake ever...and as you tasted each layer it was better and better and you are left feeling fully satisfied. My ONE and ONLY complaint was....why did Sarah and Price not kiss!!! I could feel it and know that they wanted it! OK now you need to make a Lullaby two...I demand it! lol. Nevertheless, the lack of a kiss did not take away from the film, instead it gave it a love sick like suspense, which I personally love. I plan on getting the new release of the movie when it comes out.

WOW! WOW!! WOW!!!Incredibly crafted script. Beautiful fully developed characters, nice twists. And thank you for filming in Louisiana.Your vision and artistry allow the story and characters to shine and come alive. This entire cast was fantastic. And the score fits perfectly, adds a touch of menace, brooding but strangely an element of hope.I have to single out the two leads. Tom Sizemore is menacing when he needs to be, yet with Sarah, he finds a gentleness and a kindred soul and an unbreakable connection is forged. His face tells you he isn't going to kill her the second time he looks at the picture. And when he holds her....you know he's not only lost his heart but his soul to her. She gets him and he gets her. The understated way Tom Sizemore gives life to Jack makes him not only believable but uniquely likable. And the chemistry between Tom and Sasha is magic. So much is said in the silence between the words. These are two actors who know how to project!!! What can you say about Sasha Alexander that hasn't already been said? Those gorgeous hazel eyes draw you in and you fall so deeply into the character she becomes. In Sarah we see a complete, real person. She is smart, sexy, yet so full of dark secrets and private pain just eating her alive. When she asks Jack if he's going to kill her, and says that a part of her doesn't mind, you feel the pain from her tone, you see it in her eyes. And when she asks Jack to kill her father, you know the person she currently is dies, but a new stronger Sarah comes to life, one who isn't afraid and one who isn't shy with low self esteem. Thank you for giving this talented actress the canvas, brush and paints to create such a great character.It's such a cliché, but I laughed, and I cried, and I cheered through this entire movie. Thank you for putting all the pieces together and giving us a film to watch over and over and over......... I can't wait to see Peril! If I sound like a gushing fan, I am!With respect Norma Henson

It started a little slow but built intensity as the film progressed. I think this is what gave the movie real and believable feel. I am no film critic but this is one of the best movies I have seen in awhile. Of course it was the type of film I enjoy, a thriller that keeps you entertained yet guessing until the very end. You were able to really empathize with the characters and get a real sense of what they are going through. The movie transformed me to "that place". How many films do you know that actually do that? This is a first attempt at a feature length film? Wow. Most blockbusters from Hollywood don't make you think at all. It is like most of them are geared toward the 6 year old mind. (ie. Jurrasic Park and movies with the huge special effects budget don't do anything but give you that "oh cool" factor and can be summed up in 3 minutes.) This movie can be enjoyed from a thinkers perspective. And Goodman makes you think a little. You are able to get more out of it the more you mentally dig into the characters.I really enjoyed this movie. Really.
