Review of Last Exit to Brooklyn (1989) by Scott A — 23 Aug 2013

Okay so the movie was never boring and it's production design is amazing, but was there one likable character in this whole film? I mean most of the characters are under written or under developed, and the many side stories going on in the film, I don't think one was given a proper ending.

I think even with the unlikable characters, the film could have been very good had they let the movie go on a bit longer to sew up all the plot lines.

The entire center revolves around an area of Brooklyn dealing with a strike. That plot actually goes somewhere.

But we don't really get any other answers for what ever happened to Lang? Why did Leigh do what she did in the end, and what happened to her after?

The cast is mostly okay, but when you take Alexis Arquette and Stephen Baldwin, you are getting the lesser of the family talent.

And what was the deal with the main Navy guy's voice??? That wasn't real was it?

It's a good period piece to see for all the work the production did on it and to see a great role by Jennifer Jason Leigh, but not much else.
