THE LAST LULLABY

Cinemavixion Review

Jeffrey Goodman's 'The Last Lullaby' presents a compelling, character-driven narrative that delves into the complexities of a retired hitman's struggle with his past and the unexpected stirrings of his heart. Tom Sizemore delivers a nuanced performance as Price, a man adrift in the quietude of retirement, only to be drawn back into the shadows by a final, high-stakes contract. The film masterfully builds tension as Price finds himself ensnared not just by the job, but by the enigmatic librarian, Sarah, portrayed with captivating depth by Sasha Alexander. The interplay between their characters, set against the backdrop of Price's internal conflict, makes for a gripping exploration of redemption and the unforeseen consequences of one's choices. With a runtime of 93 minutes, this 2008 United States production offers a thoughtful, albeit intense, look at finding humanity in the unlikeliest of circumstances.
