In pursuit of a crime kingpin, government operative Joe Devine (Alec Baldwin) poses as an entertainment industry big shot in hopes of leveraging Mafia-connected union man Tommy Sanz (Tony Shalhoub). To enact the guise, Joe must pretend to be filming an actual movie. So he taps would-be director Steven Schats (Matthew Broderick) without explaining that the flick is a ruse. Joe is so taken, however, with his posh new lifestyle that he begins to forget all about catching criminals.

B-

The Last Shot doesn't crackle and pop, but the send-up of Hollywood and the government gets off some good lines and generally endears itself with a kind of earnest scattershot loopiness.

Planned inanity never gets mad mad mad mad enough, and insider jabs like "I'm not a fake, I'm a director!" don't have the desired zaniness.

2/4

It's all very loose and, while occasionally diverting, doesn't really add up to anything.

Baldwin's scenes with Broderick crackle because we see Joe being drawn in by Steven's loser dreams.

The Last Shot is a fun movie that didn't make much of a splash.

"Why have you seen so many dead people?" " I use to direct music videos." Great cast, quite funny.
