Spoiled by the laborious setup, The Last Run seems to be turning into a travelogue at the start. Once it gets into its stride and the car chases start, it becomes an interesting three-hander, but there seems to have been a total loss of focus by writer and director, as explained in the trivia. George C. Scott also seems to sleepwalk through a few scenes, but it's atmospheric and doesn't fizzle out. I wonder what John Huston would have done with it in the end. If you've never seen it, it's worth watching for the authentic car shenanigans - and the plot is strong enough to carry it. If you have to get popcorn and beer first, don't worry about missing the first ten minutes.
