Last Embrace

(1979)Directed by Jonathan Demme102 min · RThriller, Mystery
“It begins with an ancient warning. It ends at the edge of Niagara Falls. In between there are 5 murders. Solve the mystery. Or die trying.”

Harry Hannan (Roy Scheider) has just come back to work after a stay in an asylum, following a botched mission in Mexico that left his wife dead. Then a death threat arrives, written in Hebrew, and he cannot tell which of his colleagues sent it. Jonathan Demme follows him as he teams up with Ellie Fabian (Janet Margolin), while Harry keeps wondering whether his own mind can be trusted.
