Last County

This was a cool action thriller. Reminded me of a Coen Brothers movie with its mix of violence and dark humor. Good script, good acting and quirky characters with good arcs. The cinematography and score were great too. The relationship between the two leads was one of those ones you rarely see in movies- a man and woman forming a bond without falling into sentimental romance. The way the director approached the movie made it into a sort of neo-noir Western- another thing you don't see very often in movies. I think this is the director's first feature and I'm really looking forward to what he does next. I love it when director's can mix humor into dark themes and situations, and this guy ulls it off. Recommended.

**Movie Review: Grossly Overrated**

I had high expectations for this movie, especially given its impressive rating of 8. However, after watching it, I can only conclude that it deserves no more than a 6.5 at best.

The plot was predictable, and the characters were one-dimensional. What should have been a captivating story on paper turned out to be a poorly constructed mess. The acting was mediocre, and the dialogues often felt forced and unrealistic. The cinematography and special effects, which usually have the potential to elevate a film, couldn't compensate for its shortcomings.

It is outrageous that they are charging 5 euros for such a poor-quality film on Pathé home. For this price, I expect at least a decently crafted production, something this film utterly fails to deliver. The high rating is completely misplaced and does not reflect reality. It seems something went terribly wrong in the evaluation of this movie, as the end result is simply disappointing.

In summary, this movie is not worth watching, and its rating of 8 is absolutely undeserved. Save yourself the effort and the money; this film is not worth your time or the cost.

"Last County" is an absolute triumph of genre-blending brilliance. This film combines gritty action, dark humor, and heartfelt drama in a way that feels both fresh and nostalgic.

The chemistry between the leads is electric, with their performances delivering both depth and charisma. The script balances sharp wit with poignant moments, all set against a backdrop of atmospheric country landscapes and a pulsating soundtrack that perfectly complements the film's tone.

The film excels in its ability to craft suspenseful sequences while maintaining a sly sense of humor. It's a masterclass in creating tension without losing the human touch. The direction is tight, the pacing relentless, and the plot is both surprising and satisfying.

Visceral. Evocative. Unapologetic. Captures the feeling of desperation leading to action. Attention to detail is prevalent in every scene from framing to audio design. A labour of love, and a love letter to cinema as an art form. Wasn't expecting the levels of suspense and twists it managed. Even 2/3rds through it still managed to keep me on my toes. Thematic exploration of the duality of man, banality of evil, survival. A greyscale gradient of moral relativism. This film begs to be re-examined and dissected multiple times to capture the nuances lovingly baked into every frame. Pseudo cinéma vérité. With significant gravitas.

The cinematography and score in this film work together seamlessly to enhance its unique blend of humor and darkness. The visual style captures the mood perfectly, creating a compelling atmosphere that immerses the audience. As a huge fan of gore I found the film's balance of graphic intensity and thematic depth to be absolutely spot-on.

It manages to deliver both intense, shocking moments and thought-provoking content without compromising on either. This combination makes it a standout piece in its genre, offering an engaging and memorable experience.

I think that Last County gives us something unexpected.
