I thought this could be something special because Samara Weaving is in it, but I was wrong. I really like Weaving, she's my favorite up and coming actress, but this film... Sorry, but it's not good at all. This is a very boring thriller that simply doesn't work. Samara's role was nothing special, and Brian Cox was in it for just a few minutes and did nothing. The lead actor didn't make a strong impression and he's in every scene, and his acting is very bland. And the plot... Well, it really didn't make much sense. Skip this one.

The producers of 'Last Moment of Clarity' must have been absolutely stoked when they managed to land Samara Weaving in their film. She's certainly a rising star and is getting some pretty good credits attached to her name. The problem they found themselves with though was that Weaving isn't really the star of the movie, or at least her character isn't. Instead the much lesser known Zach Avery is the star of the show and sadly he doesn't quite have the acting chops to do that just yet. The result is a bit of a wasted opportunity. You can see the potential the script had and why Weaving was enticed to sign on, but the actual final product is a messy shadow of what it could've been.
The first half of the film is a mystery, followed by the second half which is more a regulation thriller. If I had to pick which half I preferred more it was probably the first half. It at least had some curiosity behind it and had you wondering what tricks the film had up its sleeve. The second half, while not bad, does feel a little more run-of-the-mill and like you've seen it a thousand times before.
The film moved at a good click and I never really felt bored by it. There were a lot of technical flaws and if that sort of stuff bothers you then you might struggle a little with this film. If you are able to put that sort of stuff aside though and just enjoy the story for what it is then you might enjoy this one. It's not a film I suspect I'll remember, but while I was watching it it was a decent enough time.

Very slow and boring and the movie's events are not logical at all. They couldve made a very nice movie
I watched this for Samara Weaving, one of today's finest young actresses but I was intrigued for most of the movie. Very well cast film also features the beautiful actress who was on Mr Robot, too. She's a standout and steals every scene she's in. I would call this a dramatic mystery. It's not really scary but interesting. I also liked and appreciated the ending very much! I would recommend it to people to give it a go.

The acting, production quality is all good. It is also a decent story. Unfortunately, the movie comes across a bit flat, without mystery or that tension that gives a movie its interest and "pull". The movie is about Sam, who becomes convinced a complete stranger is actually a woman he once loved. Sam goes to extraordinary lengths to find out whether the stranger is indeed his former love-interest. Once you figure out whether the object of Sam's obsession is or isn't who Sam believes she is, there is really not much tension or suspense left in the story. So I tend to agree with other reviewers who found the movie flat & a bit dull.

An interesting movie that brings me back to movies of the 60s and 70s. A decent cast with a well written screenplay. A little slow in the beginning but gets better with time. Overall,
a very good watch, enjoy.

Good actors and actresses but very bad scenario. Just like Turkish movies. I just watched it for Samara. She was bad also. I just give 3/10. Sorry.

Sure this film wasn't perfect, but when I noticed it was put together by two amateur filmmakers - this being their first ever production, as writers and directors - and I'm guessing brothers, Colin Krisel and James Krisel, I was very impressed! This is by far one of the better B-grade independent films I've seen in a while, and mad respect for their effort and final result.
Now before any of the wannabe critics with their low ratings who clearly don't know how to review a film say this review is fake or paid, click on my username to see my 1000+ ratings and 900+ reviews. In my profile you will see (and learn) how to properly rate a film. Complaining about an actors eyebrows (user G9) is simply infantile. A true movie buff will take all aspects of the entire film (read below) and also consider the production value and experience of the filmmakers. You can't compare apples to oranges. After all, new filmmakers have to start somewhere, right?
Now this little gem; from the start, I noticed the excellent cinematography and color choices, especially in the different countries and sets. Next I was very pleased with the score and sound - very fitting and not overbearing which is what you get in most B-grade films. The 90 min runtime was just right, however the pacing needed picking up for the most part. The casting was excellent with very convincing performances, with the exception of the newb (this film being his 5th full length feature, probably his fist as lead) actor, Zach Avery as Sam. His inexperience showed, but probably wouldn't be as obvious if a seasoned director quarterbacked his acting for each scene. The directing by the Krisels was on point - you'd never expect this was their first ever film. For that matter, their directing was better than some seasoned director's films I've seen lately. Their story was great, suspenseful and refreshing. There were some plot and technical issues, as well as the pacing I already mentioned, but again, you'd never know this is the first ever screenplay by amateur filmmakers.
Overall I really enjoyed this film and its little plot twists and suspenseful scenes. I can't wait what these two new filmmakers put together for their second film entry on their resumes. Again, mad respect and props to the Krisels for their first film being a gem!
It's a very much deserved 8/10 from me.

Its a decent film, but its hard to get involved with at first. even though the plot and story are small its intricat. productionwise there aint much negative to say, the actors radiates true feelings all along, so for an indie production at a fairly median budget its a good thriller drama.
the dislikes i have countered is that the pacing maybe a bit slow, and the score are of a very cheap standards.. for the rest its a ''go'' from the grumpy old man

Movie is meh, nothing you haven't seen before.
What you surely haven't seen before is Samara Weaving in full nude appearance. She is mesmerizing and the only reason for watching this - mediocre - movie.

If you're looking for a low budget film with very little dialogue and a whole lot of staring off into space this is your movie.

Not the very best movie with a perfect story and acting, but a decent one.. enjoyable enough to spend some time watching it. Though the story and acting were not very convincing, its not that bad too.

Definitely in my top 10 worst movie list of all time. Everything wrong, how s### like that gets funding? College students would do a much much better job.

After reading all the reviews, I decided to rent this on demand. It's a decent movie but I think it could have been better if the main actor Zach was replaced with the other actor Hal. I found Zack a bit dull, not enough tension. I wasn't impressed with him. All the other actors did fine though. I never seen Samara before so I thought she did really well. I did enjoyed watching it, but it's a movie that I wouldn't watch again.

I didn't love it but I didn't hate. A perfect example of its okay.
I thought it to long to set it up and not enough time spent on the finale.
Decide for yourself.

First, let me say that if you are looking for an action movie with big explosions, you are at the wrong place.
This a slowly unfolding story with small twists and turns, a little Indie gem by two beginners.
Everything is low-key but well played.
There is no sweeping grand love story just ordinary people discovering slowly who they are and what they are made off.
