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.
Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News

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.

It's all very loose and, while occasionally diverting, doesn't really add up to anything.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Fresh
A funny hybrid of Hollywood satire and mob comedy.
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle
