The Last Man

Actors were not bad so I have to chalk it up to bad writing and dialog. My gf actually walked in and asked why they are talking like that. great concept just was not portrayed in a professional manner. a big disappointment for me and i am sure you will see the over-all rating plummet once a few people have seen this mess of a film.

3.8

The best thing I can say about it is that it tries to be. Not "good", but "something". The film essentially meanders between apocalyptic sci-fi, noir (à la Mute), some kind of parable about climate change and traces of post-Vietnam war movies (PTSD). It just doesn't do too well in any of those fronts, choosing instead to bury down in itself with the promise of meaning. If you hate voice over, or simply think that it is a poor substitute for good storytelling (or storyshowing), and a crutch for emotional exposition, just stay aeay from this dissapointing film.

No, not even if you are a Harvey Keitel fan, or like the genre. It will not add much to your life.

I'm sorry, but the acting from most of the actors was very amateurish. The idea is pretty good, but the script is terrible. You've been warned.

I've noticed that some who review here vote based upon their "loyalties" to certain actors, genre, or other specifics or topics within the movie. For example, I like Harvey Keitel, but I'm not going to automatically give a movie like this a fake rating because of that. Or the fact that I tend to enjoy Sci-Fi, but again, simply because it happens to qualify under that category I cannot pretend this movie was something it is not. This movie proves both: Great actors can star in bad movies, and certain topics we all "wish" worked out can fail miserably. I really wish more people would start rating based upon reality - and put their loyalties aside.

Rarely I write negative reviews as I always try to find something positive in a movie, particularly it if features one of my favorite actors. I am a fan of Hayden Christensen and enjoyed his performances in Star Wars, Jumper and Outcast, however they all had some plot and a normal storyline. This movie might be a simulation of PTSD-induced psychosis, I have no idea, but if so, it should have been a documentary. As it is, it is unpleasant to watch and difficult to follow. 2 stars and only because of Hayden. Otherwise it is a solid 1 star - one of the worst movies I have ever watched.
