bandito Don't read about it before viewing. Not outstanding. not a great script. was disappointed due to over inflated reviews, good for rainy day. o well.

hzleyes This film by director Jeffrey Goodman is an excellent first effort. Mr. Goodman handles the material with a maturity and subtly that usually only comes with years of experience. Tom Sizemore gives an incredible performance, the best of his career in my opinion. From the opening of the film, you can feel his characters emotion and what could have become a clichéd character, he brings life and depth to. I credit the authenticity of his performance to Mr Goodmans delicate direction of his character. Sasha Alexander brings a solid performance, a quiet sadness that you see with every minute movement of her facial features that somehow also reflects in her eyes.You'll also be pleasantly surprised by the excellent performances by all of the supporting actors, many who are very recognizable and wonderful character actors. The locations are beautiful and the camera work and minimal lighting make them another silent character, whose own story is only briefly touched upon.It's a shame that this film has not gotten a wide release. It deserves more recognition and deserves to be seen. I look forward to more work by Jeffrey Goodman. His future efforts can only get better.

tclewis3 When this movie is released by one of the major motion picture distributors, rush to the box office to get your ticket! This movie has it all, great acting displaying many human emotions, an intelligent plot full of suspense, and to top it all, a brilliant twist.Tom Sizemore and Sasha Alexander played emotionally moving character roles that were genuinely portrayed. It is a story of lost souls finding each other in a strange chain of events. Sizemore plays a retired hit man trying to find a redeeming quality to his life. Sasha plays a young woman whose life has been tormented by the men in her life. This is a film that will appeal to all audiences, young and old, male and female.The cinematography couldn't have been better. The close ups drew you into the film so that you felt like you were actually a part of the story. The violence in the film was tastefully created and was woven into this story without it being offensive. The gun shots rang out with such force, as if you were standing right next to the shooter. It was the most realistic and profound sound effect I have heard in any action movie.Max Collins and Peter Biegen, the writers, did a superb job of developing the characters, and crafting an emotional and suspenseful story. You may remember Max Collins as the writer of The Road to Perdition. He is an excellent story teller and with Peter Biegen's collaboration, they have scripted an even more enjoyable story in The Last Lullaby. There is happiness to be discovered and found in this movie.Jeffrey Goodman, in his first full featured film, "knocked the cover off the ball." It is my understanding that this had been in Mr. Goodman's creative hands and thoughts for over ten years, while he learned the ropes and paid his dues working in the film industry. His patience and hard work paid off big time. This is a major league movie.I had the fortunate opportunity to get one of the sold out tickets to The Last Lullaby. It was recently featured at the AFI International Film Festival in Dallas, TX. Now I'm looking forward to seeing this film again when it is distributed on a national scale. I believe it will be a huge box office success as well as possibly receiving many future film awards. Don't miss this one!

charlesdangray This is a good movie. Compared to your average "blockbuster" thriller movie that comes out in theatres these days, I would consider it a great movie. There is some serious violence, which, while cool (from your average guy's standpoint) does not detract from the movie's purpose, which is to delve deep into the souls of the two main characters (who give great performances, by the way). This is done quite effectively with the help of unique cinematography and mesmerizing sounds (which includes some long periods without dialogue).If you like the mystery/thriller, I don't think you could help but enjoy this one.
