'The Last Thing He Wanted' is proof that Oscar-winning actors, an A-list director and great source material can still make a major turd, says Peter Travers. Our half-star review
Incoherence courses through this Netflix Original, a 1980s-set political thriller that Rees wrote with Marco Villalobos. Anne Hathaway — her natural luminosity dimmed down to zero — plays Elena McMahon, a D.C. journalist who’s been told to stop reporting on the Reagan-era scandal she’s been covering, about U.S. funding of the anti-communist Contras in Nicaragua. Her new assignment at the fictional is to report on the president’s 1984 re-election campaign.
Instead, the film sends Elena globe-trotting around Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Los Angeles, and Miami, for reasons that remain murky. There’s something about her gunrunning, dementia-plagued daddy, Richard , who needs her to help him pull off one last job that takes her back to the — wait for it — Contras. Things get worse when Elena encounters Treat Morrison, a shady diplomat, played by Ben Affleck as if a stick had been permanently placed up his ass.
