Peter Falk drums up one last honest effort as Columbo, using determination, guile, and a bit of luck to bring down two more hapless killers. While the episode is almost 20 years old at this point, it has a modern feel and it's refreshing to see that his bumbling act translated well into the 21st century.
A young Matthew Rhys, matched with Jennifer Sky, plays a character not too dissimilar to his Philip Jennings in "The Americans", someone who doesn't like to kill, but must because of duty to his country, himself or those he loves. If only Stan Beeman was as perceptive as Lt. Columbo.
