So, 'Last Dance' is this gritty little gem from '96 directed by Bruce Beresford. You’ve got Rick Hayes, this young lawyer who gets thrown into the deep end with the clemency case of Cindy Liggett, a death row inmate. The pacing sort of creeps up on you; it’s slow but deliberate, really allowing the weight of their connection to settle in. The performances are pretty solid—James Gandolfini as the hardened convict adds a raw edge. Themes of justice and morality are tangled throughout, and there’s this palpable tension that builds as the execution date looms. Plus, the atmosphere has this somber, reflective quality that just lingers. It’s not flashy, but it draws you in and makes you think.
