Last Ferry succeeds in towing that fine line between perpetuating a gay stereotype and being a trite thriller.

And the ending happened. It just... happened. That's all. No resolution. No character growth. No impact. It's like the writer got bored with the script and simply decided to stop.

I was going to give the movie six stars, but then that stupid ending ruined it. So, four stars out of ten. And I think I'm being fairly generous.

The genre of "gay thriller" has definitely been evolving to the point that once in awhile, there are films that exceed expectations. "Last Ferry" is not one of them. While there are some decent performances (Sheldon Best stands out) the rest of the characters really aren't strong enough to "carry" the film (especially the lead, who just spends most of the film practicing his "clueless" expression). While I've never been to Fire Island, I find it a bit hard to believe that in the modern era of cel phones a serial predator who drugs/mugs victims wouldn't eventually be identified. So, from the beginning there is quite a bit of suspension of disbelief to overcome (maybe if this were set in the 70's? Maybe that's actually when it was written? I dunno, but in the present it really doesn't work). There's a little skin, a little eye-candy, a little romance...but all in all it just comes off as a very well-edited and filmed low budget effort with little substance.

Overall, not a bad film ... decent production values and acting was adequate. But do you want to ruin a film right from the get-go ... screw up the ending! That's exactly what the numbskull Writers and Director did with this film. The only reason it got 2 stars from me is what I just said in the previous 5 sentences ...otherwise, it would have gotten only 1 Star. Don't waste your time with this one ... it's not worth the total frustration you'll feel at the end. This Writer and/or Director ought to go back to film school ... they obviously didn't learn a thing about what makes a good movie!!

Gay themed thrillers are a rarity in the film world. This modest effort starts out well enough. Joseph, a loner/lonely Gay man goes to Fire Island looking for escape from his unhappy job as a lawyer, fun and connection only to discover he's come off season, and doesn't have a clue of what he's going to do or where he'll stay. Warned about the meatrack by an older Gay man (played almost as a predator to the enormous discredit of the script/director), Joseph allows a stranger (but a young handsome stranger) to lure him into the meatrack. Joseph is drugged and mugged, stumbles with a cloudy head and senses of perception towards the beach and sees someone dragging a body to the edge of the water, he runs off and passes out.

When he comes to he is in the living room of a classic Fire Island modernist home where Cameron, apparently the man who found him passed out has brought him to recover. Is Cameron actually a savior, or is he part of the looming dangers of Fire Island?

The film introduces a cast of house guests and it's pretty obvious that Rafael, the hottest, sexiest and most fuckable of all the film's characters is trouble.

The film builds small tensions, but ends with an abrupt stop that left me completely unsatisfied.

I wanted to like this movie but this low budget gay thriller fell flat! The writing is reprehensible. Guess it's too late to edit back the missing parts for an interesting movie.

Start with an ending! If you don't know where your story's going to go, it might not be a tale worth telling. With that said, this is a generally very good thriller centering around a lonesome lawyer taking a trip to Fire Island and finding himself in one unfortunate altercation after another. What would have made this a nearly perfect film is a different ending. As in: an _actual_ ending and not the utter non-ending we were given. Even the post-credits snippet (can't call it a "scene") left me ultimately unsatisfied. But otherwise, by no means is this a bad film. Definitely worth your time.

I just watched this as it had high rating on IMDb. What the hell was that? I've seen far better movies rated 5 or less at IMDb. The acting was okay but the story sucked. Initially it was very interesting but as the movie progressed, became more and more boring. Wasted a lot of time for this piece of crap movie. I'm all for gay rights and all, but doesn't mean you've to rate it high if the movie actually sucked. Disappointed.

Last Ferry isn't the perfect thriller, but it has to be commended for the way it approaches queerness. The characters feel real and rounded without ever letting their sexuality define them entirely and this was SO refreshing to see in a genre film like this.

The whole movie all they did was talk about sex, sex, and more sex. Is that what gay men people do all day. What ever happened to relationship..The movie was slow and boring.. The ending was terrible I watched until the end to see what was going to happen and I totally regretted it. Don't waste your time you will be dissappointed.

A story of coming out to oneself but choosing the wrong path.

There is no denying there is suspense fully developed in this plot. The situations Joseph finds himself in are questionable and the intentions of the cottage group is left wide open for the viewer to interpret. Yes, there are holes in the plot, that's my reason for just 7 stars. But the overall effect of the story succeeded in building a level of suspense and mystery.

Just another boring gay movie who actually made 2 people fall asleep. I cannot even begin to understand how anyone could rate this highly. I am starting to really question whether people are paid to write fake reviews.

I was intrigued as things progressed, but then the movie ended with no real conclusion or wrap up. There really didn't seem to be much of a point to this one.

Why the bad reviews? I had seen the trailer so I thought i'd give it a go and i actually enjoyed it. Good acting, great cast and the storyline is on point. I have to give a mention about Larry Owens, he was a stand out for sure and he was absolutely fantastic in this! Hopefully i'll get to a strange loop on broadway one day. 7 stars from me!

I think people are being way too generous with this low budget gay thriller.

Neither suspenseful or particularly dramatic - the storyline was unfulfilling, it's like we came in at the middle and stayed there - no idea the reason behind the murder in the first place coupled with an unresolved ending

The actors weren't super engrossing, merely playing off gay stereotypes for the most part, right down to the predatory older gay guy in the cafe at the beginning.

The ending is NOT open to interpretation, it's a COP OUT!! Don't start making a movie unless you know how it ends otherwise how can you let your characters develop.

Disappointing !

But alas, like most American made gay films, it was a huge let down. I literally fast-forwarded through 80% of the movie and was able to follow the story line 100%.

A story line that's actually unique to gay films was decimated with gay stereotypes.

I wish more gay movies were like this - it's certainly not perfect, but also not just like most gay movies. The diverse cast, bomb soundtrack, and beautiful scenery really pull it all together.

The story is pretty engaging and thrilling, as it gives a reason for the two characters to mistrust each other. The visuals are beautiful, and there's eye candy as well. I enjoyed watching it.

The film got low rates and true, I also saw quite some plotmistakes. Not always told perfectly well or logic, not all a tings were 100%.. but I understood and believed the story, I found it thrilling; a pity when it was over. Plots are actually not my very first interest. More is the way of telling, the camerawork, the acting, the music. The main actor also wrote & produced the film. His next films will have more souple plots, but as said - I really liked this one.

The story about a young guy visiting a gay party island - unfortunately too early in the season. The atmosphere of such place, on such poor moment was scetched very well. How the man goes around there, it usually doesn't go that way, but I believed it. He played his character convincing: not brave, not macho, looking for sex, but also like lawyers can be: a bit distantly, intellectual. The film builds well up to a climax - I was surprised by the end. Some recensents wrote 'no end'. Oh lazy lazy, the film has a very clear end. It asks some own mind work to understand how the story finishes.

The worst Movie i ever saw ... it made no sense. Bad bad.
