Last Three Days

Between the flood of true-crime and procedurals, Last Three Days in Australia on Hoopla, and in the US on Hoopla is the one that actually holds up. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. Its 6/10 TMDB score, built from 70 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Robert Palmer Watkins's performance alone is worth the time investment. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Hoopla.

Last Three Days is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. At its heart, Last Three Days understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. After getting mixed up with a dangerous crime syndicate, an undercover cop wakes up to discover he is missing his partner, his wife, and three days of his life. The writing gets a boost from Robert Palmer Watkins and Thomas Wilson Brown, who sell every scene they're in. It hit screens in 2020. Last Three Days is at its best in the quiet scenes between the plot beats, where the character work actually happens. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.
