O Último Turno

Richard Jenkins ... always an excellent choice if he's available. Such a range this guy has - and his performance here is matched by his .. well "successor". While he is on his way out, he will get replaced and has to teach the guy who comes after him how to do the job he did.

The fact that the guy is an ex con and way younger than our leading man ... well it has to lead to some conflicts. For better or worse those two have different world views. And whether you agree with one or the other ... it does fuel the story and the character development ... and adds tremendous drama to the whole thing. Some other great additions in the acting department round up a really interesting drama - slow moving, but good, with many themes that will connect to a certain target audience.

There was nothing, absolutely nothing in this film that could be classed as funny. it was a very realistic look at the working class man, and the problems troubled kids face. it was a good movie, very touching, great acting and pulled at my heartstrings.

it had a start and a middle then the credits rolled, if it was an episode of a series youd be interested to watch the next episode.

Richard Jenkins was great, he nailed this role. This film won't get him an Oscar but based on his performance you should give it a watch. As far as the movie goes, it was nothing really over the top or spectacular. Just a simple film with a decent story and good acting. 6 stars.

A slow burn but enjoyable throughout. Jenkins proves why he is one of the best actors out there. Bravo! Stellar performance by the full cast as well.

Richard Jenkins & Shane Paul McGhie did a great job making their characters come to life. It's a movie about real life for many people in the US, that the countries or people in privilege places don't even bat an eye.

A sad reality, but a reality.
