Last Resort Reviews

Completely shot with hand-held cameras Last Resort has the feel of a documentary, built-up by an intricately structured script and the fabulous performances of the lead trio. The films climax is abrupt but strangely powerful in that it makes you contemplate the fate of the characters for quite a while after the end credits roll.

Paddy Considine does not have a bad performance in him. More subtle and understated than he is in Dead Man's Shoes, and My Summer of Love (another Pawlikowski film) but shows his incredible range. This duo are fast becoming personal favourites; I recommend you check them out if you haven't already.
