Last Hit

Last Hit delivers exactly what a gritty indie crime film should — sharp characters, real menace, and performances that don’t feel manufactured. Levee Duplay anchors the film as Dante, the boss, and he brings the right kind of quiet authority and underlying threat. His performance isn’t loud or flashy — it’s controlled, confident, and dangerous, the kind of presence that lets everyone else orbit naturally around him. You believe he’s in charge the second he’s on screen. LeeAnne Bauer is excellent as Lana, Dante’s niece, and she gives the film real emotional weight. She’s not just reacting to the chaos around her — she drives scenes, holds her own opposite hardened characters, and brings vulnerability without weakness. It’s a standout performance that elevates the story. Mike Ferguson as Vincent brings raw, unpolished intensity that works perfectly for the world of the film. There’s nothing slick about it — it feels lived-in and unpredictable, which makes his scenes hit harder. Twana Barnett, known from Beast Games and WOW Wrestling, is a force. Her physicality is used smartly, and when the action turns brutal, she delivers. The slam moves don’t feel gimmicky — they feel earned, adding a visceral edge that separates Last Hit from standard low-budget crime fare. Joe Davison (Stranger Things) provides well-timed comedic relief that never undercuts the tension. His moments land because they feel organic, not forced, giving the audience a breather without breaking the tone. Overall, Last Hit feels like a throwback to when crime films relied on performance, attitude, and confidence instead of excess. It’s lean, character-driven, and knows exactly what it is — and that clarity is what makes it work.
