How would you react if three years after the death of your father, you receive a letter signed by him inviting you to visit an abandoned house in the middle of nowhere in China? Curious in nature, you decide to set off on this adventure. Here's the snag, when you arrive in front of the house (which looks more like a bunker), you realize that there are other visitors summoned as well. Four guys show up with the same letter you have! All five characters, Monk, Casino, Black Jack, Shang and Poker have something in common. All carry guns, have dangerous reputations and are wanted by the police. Unexpectedly the door to the house is opened by a mysterious woman and shortly after entering they notice that they are all locked inside. The house is surrounded by police and they can not escape the psychotic killer that wants to wipe them out. After shocking plot twists and with a growing suspicion of each other, they come to realize that they have only one hour to live.

Last Hour Audience Reviews

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
gr8fyl Ditto what everyone else said.Call me a glutton for punishment, but I think I've figured out what's so G-D awful about this complete waste of celluloid.Unless I'm wrong I think this entire mess was filmed in Hong Kong. The American actors had their lines dubbed into Chinese (or possibly French, who the F--- cares), and then re-over-dubbed back into English, which explains why reviewer placebotonic says the audio sounds like it's trying to be a Sergio Leone soundtrack.Ting Wo Kwong is trying too hard to be Jack Wu.Either Caubet or Lemaitre must have the stereotypes in mind of these 5 "typical" Americans, and the supporting bad-cop characters. One of them thought Paul Sorvino could pull off playing a Jewish lawyer. Everyone involved in this fiasco, including the actors who accepted the job, seem to agree. And maybe the unsophisticated Pacific Rim agrees, but I doubt it.If there's a story somewhere in this mess, it's not worth trying to follow.I can maybe, maybe, understand Madsen and Carradine and DMX being tempted by some foreign producer's lure of a week-long shoot in an exotic locale, all expenses paid, and maybe above-scale pay. And the poor actors do what they can with this fish-wrapper of a screenplay. One gets the sense that they are mumbling their lines at the same time they are thinking to themselves, "Think of the money. Thank goodness this will never be released in the States." But Sorvino? Sorvino?! What's he doing in this?? Picture Paul Sorvino in 'Goodfellas'. Then picture him as the baseball manager in 'Mr 3000' where he out-acts everyone in the movie without delivering a single line for the first 90 minutes, then argues with an umpire, then sits silent for the rest of the film. 'Romeo & Juliet'. 'Law & Order'. 'Cruising.' Heck, he played Bruce Willis' dad on 'Moonlighting'. He should KNOW A PIECE OF CRAP when he reads one. He should have an agent who should have a script reader who should know a piece of crap when he reads one. Think of Sorvino in all those roles. Now picture his fat face wearing a China cap, smiling at what's supposed to be his daughter(?)in the rice field in the end of this movie. Then picture him smiling and crying when his real daughter Mira won the Oscar for a Woody Allen movie. Then back to the China cap scene. Painful.The only thing I can think of that remotely makes sense is that this movie is really a Quentin Tarantino film in disguise, and that the horrible story, dreadful acting, abysmal editing and impossible audio are all part of the design, like the motif in 'Deathproof'. Either way, the producers have gotten one over on us.
jsartin57 The was a really bad movie and I still don't know what the heck was going on . I think that there were several languages that were dubbed in English , but even the subtitles were off several times. What did "poison" spit out of her mouth when she came out of the tunnel? Who was who? How did the Japanese/Chinese Swat team guy die? I bet they made this movie for under a $1000. Even David Carradine acted like he was just "winging" it through the movie. I watched it all the way through thinking that it was going to get better-but it only got worse. Watching grass grow would be more enjoyable than watching this movie. What a pathetic waste of time!
cncswiss How could these professional Actors, Producers, and even the Janitor not see how horrible this movie was before releasing it? I assure you that if I had the money to re-make this movie I could improve it 999 per cent, and I have never made a movie, or even acted in a play. Heck! I have never been to a play, but I surely can do a better job then who ever the idiot was that made and directed this film! And the editor should have their fingers cut off so that they never again can butcher a movie this bad! Specially the ending! All you saw for the last 5 minutes is different scenes that did not make sense and where all mixed up. And the very end was not even related to the movie. It was like they cut it from another movie that happened to be laying around, and pasted it to this one. I wish I could line everyone up who had anything to do with this movie, and slap them for insulting my intelligence. Do they really think we are this stupid to except a film like this?
Hash86 I was extremely let down by Monsieur Caubet's directorial debut Last Hour, as it could have been so much more than the stinker it ended up being.The plot essentially was a good one. A classic of the crime/murder/mystery genre - A bunch of strangers brought together in mysterious circumstances by an unknown overseer, are stuck with each other in a foreign surround. There were sufficient twists and turns to set it apart from similar films in this genre had it not been for the fact that it failed to deliver in three key areas - Script, acting and direction.The script was just awful, it took a promising premise and ruined it with some of the worst dialogue I have seen on screen. It was also the first time in a long time that I felt like I was watching actors try to act rather than simply becoming their characters. When I watched this movie I didn't see Blackjack, I saw DMX attempting read the poorly scripted part of a gangster. As for Carradine and the CID chief, some of their interplay was so stilted and false that I was left looking around expecting to see an autocue. Final criticism was the overall directing of debutant Caubet. Any suspense that might have been generated by the substandard acting was quickly lost due to the equally substandard directing. The childish cutting between scenes, poor use of light, terrible sound editing and don't even get me started on the abrupt and wholly unfulfilling ending, all contributed to this movie being a lump of coal rather than a diamond.Had this premise found it's way into the mind of a more capable scriptwriter and subsequently a director like David Mamet, Sidney Lumet or Michael Mann then I believe the basic idea could have lent itself to greatness. Instead, you spend the whole film thinking you are watching the first draft of a movie and that experience is simply not worth spending any money on.
