The Last Page

This movie is the result of a writer who thought he could also direct, and a director who thought he could also write.

There are very solid reasons why a movie needs a professional writer, a seasoned director and good actors, sadly this movie does not harbor any of these talents.

And before all the people who gave 9's and 10's attack my post, have me deleted or black listed, can you at least be honest with yourselves about the quality of the end product and the amateurish acting, poor story and weak execution?

When you write and also direct the same feature, your cannot discern between the two roles.

Francis Coppola tried it and he has a 50 year career in film.

What was the result?

Megapolis cost 125 million of his own money and it was a disastrous flop at the box office.

There is no way a writer can write and direct without their ego getting in the way.

This film is poorly written, the acting over the top and very over rated especially by those giving this film 9 and 10 scores.

Please people if you are truthful, judge it based on merit and do not give high ratings because you are cast member friends.

The sets were ok, the editing poor and the directing lacking.

Overall mediocre. 2/10.

So, on paper this looks like is an uplifting religious family film/romantic dramedy. You think it's gonna be a heartwarming tale of a couple of dudes sittin' by the fire reading the Book of Mormon, working on a farm, etc.

It is all of those things, yet it also includes a little bit of violence. If that sounds like a bad thing to you, we unfortunately cannot be friends. The Last Page is stealthily a crime thriller, and I found the experience of watching it thoroughly enjoyable.

It's also surprisingly good-looking despite its obvious budgetary limitations, and I think you can tell the people behind it were passionate and put everything they had into it. Really, this is a nice little movie and it's easy to recommend to family and friends.

Ok I can't help myself, as a side note, see if you agree that one of the film's big emotional moments is exactly like a part in Return of the Jedi. Kinda sick.

The first time I watched The Last Page I cried so much! I have now watched it three times and I recommend it to people wherever I go. It's a good balance of faith based without being preachy. So well written. So powerful and it really shows just how much your life changes when you put God in it. I so admire Madison Bills (who played Thomas and wrote it). You can tell he loves God and he made this for Him and to bless His children. Scarlett (Joslyn) was my favorite! So natural with her acting I couldn't even tell she was acting. This film is going to change individuals and families lives. Thanks Madison!!

A very original take on the usually predictable LDS family film. Contains moments of incredible depth and intensity, not normally found in films of this genre. The relationship between the two brothers beautifully portrays how no matter the relationship, we can often drift apart. But when it comes down to what truly matters.. there are bonds that just can't be broken. An Incredible performance by Tyler fox, playing a villian of the level typically seen only in high profile blockbuster movies. Taking in to consideration the captivating performances and unexpected twists and turns, I'd say it is more than well worth the watch.

The Last Page is about the discovery of ones spirituality in modern day Utahn times. It's emotional, thought provoking, and heartfelt. I've shed tears both times I've watched it. It delivers what it intends and hopefully helps you draw closer to your loved ones. We never know what the future has in store. For the budget, talent and timeline it has, it's a great movie! The main actors stay true to their original character, there's no complicated story line. I can appreciate that in a fast moving world that we live in now days. Our entertainment can also include complicated-ness but the Last Page brings it all back home. A simple, humble, well written, well produced, a little bit of action, lots of humor, Sunday kinda sit back at home evening watch. I loved it!
