The Last Shot (2004) 8/10

Starring : Matthew Broderick, Alec Baldwin, Toni Collette, Tony Shalhoub, Calista Flockhart, Ray Liotta
Director : Jeff Nathanson
Running Time : 93 mins

Steven Schats (Broderick) finally gets the opportunity to make the movie he’s been trying to get produced for years, but what he doesn’t realise is that the producer, Joe Devine (Baldwin), is in fact an undercover FBI agent using the movie production to try and take down mob boss John Gotti (Shalhoub). The plan runs smoothly, until the guys involved at the FBI start to get carried away with making the movie.

This is actually a very enjoyable, much underrated little movie. Broderick and Baldwin handle their parts expertly, and it’s nice to see Toni Collette not having to dowdy herself down and actually looking pretty damn good.
