The Last Grenade

Surely the worst film that any of the three British stars ever made? Any two of them together would normally be enough to suggest a good film, the trio surely a guarantee? And there are several very dependable supporting actors. But all that is commendable about TLG are the locations.

Other reviewers have already expressed various criticisms. Additionally one might mention Baker's team finding Thompson's village deserted and awaiting his gang's return - wandering around in the open and so highly vulnerable.

I suppose that the frustrated Blackman was attracted to Baker because of the combination of his machismo and his vulnerability as a hospital patient? If he had TB, surely it was unwise for her to become intimate with him because the bacteria can be spread through close contact. The romantic interlude halfway through the film was disruptive to the main plot, such as it was.

A very big disappointment.
