The Last Run



Fred Gets Savage!
This reminded me of growing up in Las Vegas. The Last Run is a really good movie for any guy who loves a good story with lots of T & A. The montage of Fred getting ripped up and trying to F anything that walks is classic. "I quit my job but have been working out. Check out my arm its like a F'n pipe bomb!" This movie flys by and it rocks. See Fred at his finest in this little indie. If it had the budget for better music it would have been a Cult Classic so I just suggest owning it. My scale is dd Don't Doit, WW Worth Watching, MM Mustc Movie and CC Cult Classic. This is a definite MM but as I stated with better music it would be vaulted to CC status. All real big city men need to watch this flick. The wonder years to a David Duchovny sex maniac.

It Is Awful
Rebecca: This is so bad it's almost good.

Enid: This is so bad it's gone past good and back to bad again.

If the Mitchell Brothers were looking for a sure-fire tax loss they might have cranked out a movie like "The Last Run" (2004). They would have taken perverse amusement from plugging a has-been child-star into a grind-house level comedy. Fred Savage was always more narrator than actor and the movie's voiceover commentary probably seemed like a good fit.

Unfortunately the script is moronic even by Mitchell Brothers standards and there are no likely "Ivory Snow" mothers in the cast; the women in this movie look like aging escort service girls lured out of a local AA meeting or bowling alley. You know these marginal actresses are high mileage because the script calls for the male characters to incessantly discuss how young and beautiful they are.

It does have a pre-"Enchanted" (and then unknown) Amy Adams in the cast. You mostly know...

Sorry I bought it.
I expected more of Amy Adams in it.
Mr Savage carries his Wonder Years label still and is not a hot enough guy for this role.
