This Last Lonely Place is a 2014 crime thriller directed by Steve Anderson. The movie stars Rhys Coiro as a Los Angeles private investigator named Sam who is tasked with delivering a mysterious package to a notorious hitman named Hugo, played by Xander Berkeley. Along the way, Sam meets a struggling actress named Mary, played by Carly Pope, who becomes caught up in the dangerous world of the criminal underworld.
The movie begins with Sam being hired by a woman named Francesca, played by Joanna Cassidy, to deliver a package to Hugo. The package contains evidence that could potentially expose Francesca's involvement in a crime syndicate. Sam is reluctant to take on the job, but agrees for the money. He is given strict instructions not to look inside the package and to only deliver it to Hugo.
As Sam sets out to deliver the package, he meets a series of shady characters including Hugo's right-hand man, Roy, played by Richard Portnow, and a crooked police detective named Braddock, played by Al Sapienza. Sam also meets Mary, a struggling actress who is working as a waitress in a diner. Sam is immediately drawn to Mary and the two begin a flirtatious relationship.
As Sam gets closer to delivering the package to Hugo, he begins to suspect that Francesca has not been completely upfront with him. He becomes increasingly paranoid that he is being followed and that his life is in danger. To make matters worse, Mary becomes embroiled in the dangerous world of the criminal underworld after a chance encounter with Roy.
The tension in the movie builds steadily as Sam's paranoia grows and the danger becomes more real. The movie is filled with twists and turns as Sam tries to navigate the criminal underworld and keep himself and Mary safe.
One of the strengths of the movie is the performances of the actors. Rhys Coiro delivers a convincing performance as a tough but vulnerable private investigator. Xander Berkeley is menacing as the ruthless hitman Hugo. And Carly Pope brings a sense of vulnerability and realism to the role of Mary.
The movie also features impressive cinematography, with beautiful shots of Los Angeles at night. The use of light and shadow adds to the moodiness of the film and helps to create a sense of foreboding.
Overall, This Last Lonely Place is a tense and engaging crime thriller that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. It is a well-made film that is worth a watch for fans of the genre.
