“Final Kill” (*1/2 out of four) was a numbskull action melodrama about an aging protection specialist (Ed Morrone) who is ordered by his boss (Billy Zane) to go on one final job before retirement protecting a couple who stole millions from a ruthless crime family but naturally the job is much more complicated than he imagined. Pretty routine and basic story is full of cliches and is severely handicapped by Morrone’s unlikeable and unpleasant character. Danny Trejo picks up a couple of bucks in a token role as (what else?) a hired killer and Dr. Drew Pinsky has an amusing cameo in the opening scene.
