Last the Night

This movie wants to be a revenge movie but falls short. It also wants to be a slasher movie with guns, and falls short. To get an idea of the caliber of this movie, the main character is a history teacher with only four students. They couldn't even afford some BG actors to make even half a class. The rest of the budget was spent on a bit of fake blood.

Just something about the beard, his mannerisms and tone of voice tells me that the casting director wanted Jake Johnson but perhaps couldn't afford him or maybe he declined knowing it would be a bomb.

That being said, pretty average revenge film really. Not enough grit nor substance. Not even any frontal nudity. I think the writer may have had a message in their somewhere but failed to execute it.

Granted, I will be the first to admit that I wasn't really expecting "Last the Night" to be a particularly great movie, given the fact that the movie was starring Brian Austin Green. Yeah, I can't claim to be harboring much interest in him as an action, nor as a musician for that matter.

However, since "Last the Night" was a movie that I hadn't already seen and given the fact that I had the opportunity to watch it, of course I gave it a chance.

I must say that writers Tom Chilcoat and Nick Leisure didn't exactly churn out an edge-of-your-seat thriller here with this movie. Sure, the movie can be watched once, but that is about it. The storyline in the movie was somewhat far fetched and didn't really have much of any thrill to it. So it was somewhat monotonous and predictable.

The acting performances in "Last the Night" were adequate, taking into consideration the type of movie that this was. However, it was just even more difficult to take Brian Austin Green seriously with that scruffy, dead animal glued to the lower part of his face.

If you enjoy thrillers then "Last the Night" is not a particularly exciting movie.

My rating of "Last the Night", from director Nick Leisure, lands on a generous four out of ten stars.

This was a very disturbing and sad movie. There is such a mental health crisis in America. This movie showcases how cold people and the world can be. It touches on broken relationships, gossip and where that can lead. It's truly sad, in my opinion, how this movie went down but it also brings up an interesting thing to think about. Words hurt. Mental health is important and there should be more accessible ways to get treatment.

I didn't like how this movie played out but unfortunately, it's a sad reality in America today. It also focuses on the damage the lockdown during the "pandemic" really messed with people's heads.

I really didn't expect this to be any good and almost turned it off when I saw people wearing masks and mentioning bird flu or whatever every 20 seconds but it ended up being a decent revenge film. Brian Austin Green is really good in the role and the kids are such stereotypical idiots, it's hilarious (the girl more concerned about her phone than escaping from the killer is great) . The kill scenes aren't great but that's to be expected when it's gun-based, which isn't common for "Slashers". All in all, it's a pretty decent watch and didn't have the political commentary I expected when it started.
