"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.I have been reviewing films all my life, semi-professionally in the past and for the past 10 or 12 years on imdb and more recently in letterboxd and facebook. The idea of this blog is to get as many of those reviews gathered together in one place. I have had a great deal of support and encouragement from a lot of people throughout the world and I hope that continues. Now for the ratings. **** = not to be missed. *** = highly recommended. ** = recommended. * = of interest and no stars = avoid..
