The Last Passport

The Last Passport is a great movie! An awesome story of normal people dealing with life's problems. There's a good moral, with great perspective! The acting can be a little stiff and seem forced at times, but the end makes up for it. Jimmy Hager gives a good performance...sometimes a bit stiff, but most of the time very genuine with his feelings, but not over the top. Chris Cruthfield is another great job. Jimmy and Chris seemed to have good chemistry and timing. I was never sure where it was really heading or what to expect, but it was a pleasant and heart warming story that makes you think about your place and attitude.

I watched The Last Passport with my teenage son. Knowing the story behind the story of how the film was made in 30 days for only $5,000 allowed me the luxury of not expecting a Hollywood blockbuster. In a time where all movies seem more interested in CGI, special effects, explosions, sex, nudity, and violence, and they forget that we want a story. This film delivers and doesn't need anything but a compelling story and wonderful characters. This movie had everything any blockbuster has and more.

I've watched it twice now and look forward to watching it again to find all the hidden clues and wonderful messages I may have missed the first two times.

Jimmy Haggar is simply wonderful and doesn't even seem to be acting. I look forward to finding more material he is in and for whatever Lucky You brings next.

Great job!!!!

This is a great little film that captures perfectly the phenomenon of interminably waiting in line at some bureaucratic government agency and inevitably baring your soul to the complete stranger sitting next to you , who you will never see again. The characters in the movie encompass just about every bizarre, stressed out, nerdy, dangerous, goofy person you might run into in this situation. I am in love with the older gentleman George, the sage of the film, who gushes wisdom and compassion and good old southern charm to anyone who happens to sit next to him. If you have ever been left to wait for hours on end and have let your mind wander to a surreal world where anything might happen, you should see this film! For the minuscule budget and extremely short shooting schedule I give this movie a 10! It goes back to a time when you watched a movie for a compelling story not for the special effects and extravagant sets.

This movie just gets better and better as it goes on. The main character of George is like the Dalai Lama who dispenses wisdom and piety with every character he encounters. This is a film about the human condition in all its complexities and full of surprises. At the final scene all I could say was, "Oh my god, oh my god", it is that moving. The fact that it was written and produced in 30 days on a shoestring budget that probably only covered the cost of the film is quite remarkable. It is a movie that will make you pause and think about your own life and what you are doing with it. Or, not doing with it. George is the man you will want to talk to. And of course, George has a story of his own, and what a story it is!

This movie is so inspirational in so many ways. Yes, created between some incredibly talented people in 30 days for only $5,000. And the story, is not a story its everyday life. The talent this movie holds came together and built this film. It shows they exercised the very same morales we teach our children everyday. Be kind, be respectful, be patient.. You can literally see in this film that behind the cameras a set that took place was looked upon as a chapter in their lives- past, present, future. Heart and Soul was poured and a delightfully heart shaped filmed was produced. Its a great reminder and eye opener to the fact that we each have the ability to look around us and see everyone as an equal, as a human being. This story line is passionate, heartfelt and a good morale booster to encourage change. Change for the good.
