This Last Lonely Place

A lonesome cabbie, on his final shift before leaving the job in his rear view, picks up as his last fare a hypertensive businessman who draws the driver into a neo-noir featuring all of the elements of old-school suspense: deceitful dames, guns, and dead bodies. This Last Lonely Place is never quite as gritty and unrelenting as its aged predecessors, but it's a fine film in its own right, on its own terms.

An interesting neo-noir that plods along with all your familiar noir characters: the morally compromised ex-military lonelier, the desperate guy with lots of money on the run from the authorities and/or mob and, of course, the reptilian femme fatale who telegraphs her long-term plan that nobody seems to ever pick up on, along with her expected black garter belt and nylons, natch.Will keep you satisfied for a while up until the point you realize you've seen a similar plot in a much better film.
