Last Hours in Suburbia

I thought this film was fantastic. The story line was very interesting and the ending was great. I have watched this film twice in the last 2 days and will probably watch it again. Although I would have made a few minor changes as a director like maybe not being able to see Jennifer's shadow. There was also a part where the actress was still in the background waiting for her cue but she was in full vision, these are just minor errors that could have been fixed by the editor but oh well it's done now and the acting was still strong and the characters were portrayed well. Apart from the errors it is definitely a film worth watching. Most people won't pick up on them anyway.

This movie kept me hanging, there were great foreshadowing techniques. The actor who played Pete, Stephen Miller played a great role in the movie, I would like to see him in more movies. Like action thrillers, Love movies, something that shows off his talents. He played a character who was full of emotion, from elation to deep sorrow. What a wonderful role. I think Stephen Miller did an excellent job persuading the audience to believe his sorrow after the tragedy, as well as showing his positive emotions during the flashback scenes. Please let me see more of this talented actor... He is a star waiting to shine and show his talent to the Hollywood producers.

I am not usually a Liftetime movie fan, but I watched a repeat of this movie after several of my friends were raving about it. I am glad they recommended it! This movie kept me guessing until the end. I agree with many of the reviews above that it sends a powerful message to teens. I think this is an effective film to show kids the consequences of drinking and driving or even just excessive partying. Grace must defer her college dreams to report to prison. Just one careless night of drinking and partying leads to the death of her best friend. I do not think all the characters were developed enough, though. For example, I would like to know more about Pete. He clearly is a pivotal character in all this. I would have been nice to see him more throughout the movie. I guess this movie is part of a series, so maybe he will star in the next installment! I have been a big Maiara Walsh fan since Desperate Housewives, and she is awesome! I hope she and Steven A. Miller can star in a sequel together.

I really enjoyed Last Hours in Suburbia. As an educator, it really showed taking responsibility for one's actions. The two lead young women were wonderful and totally credible. I loved watching the character, "Pete," (Steve Miller) go from this really cool "with it" guy, to a totally different person who was so lost to the world because of the tragedy that occurred. I'd really like to see more of this actor and all that he is capable of projecting on the screen. He seems to have much potential, especially in his last scene of confrontation. The movie is a good teaching tool for high schoolers and the reality of peer pressure and consequences.

I felt that the plot line was extremely intriguing and that it thoroughly kept the viewer glued to the screen. There was one particular outstanding supporting role played by Steven A. Miller and I wish that he would have had more screen time. He kept the viewer guessing with his subtle mannerisms. The two female leads, Mariara Walsh and Kelcie Stranahan, had great chemistry and were dynamic. All the performances, in particular of the three mentioned, kept the story moving. All the twists and turns we're nail biting and I found myself gasping aloud. I would definitely recommend this movie for a night at home.
