Charlie Hunnam, Morena Baccarin & Lucy Fry Interview: Last Looks
Last Looks is a Neo-noir dark comedy starring Charlie Hunnam as ex-police detective Charlie Waldo, who sets out to solve the murder of the wife of actor Alastair Pinch, played Mel Gibson. The film also stars Morena Baccarin as Lorena, an ex-lover from Waldo’s past who has more than a complicated relationship with the recluse ex-detective, and Lucy Fry as Miss, Jayne White, Pinch’s son's school teacher who is more than meets the eye.
