LAST NIGHT no stars

"Last Night" is an intelligent, well-acted, written, directed and photographed film that, in the end, amounts to absolutely nothing. It's a 'will they, won't they' scenario; commit adultery, that is. She's Keira Knightely and he's Sam Worthington and he's left town for the night on business with a female colleague, (Eva Mendes), he fancies and who fancies him right back leaving Keira alone to casually and very co-incidentally run into old flame Guillaume Canet. Nothing very much happens; there is a lot of talk, some of it good but mostly inane, the kind of small talk people engage in when they have nothing to say. It might have helped if the characters were more attractive but frankly these are people I would leave town to avoid. It may be well done but it is also very, very dull.
