The Last Minute (2002)

Member Rating:

In between the big-budget Blade and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, British filmmaker Stephen Norrington directs the straight-to-video crime drama The Last Minute. Told in flashback, the story follows the rise and fall of Billy Byrne (Max Beesley). With a determined goal to be famous, he lands his first big show with the help of his slick agent, Walsh (Anthony Higgins). Fame comes quickly as he travels the globe and gets invited to hip clubs, becoming the darling of the London art scene. Due to his excessive, self-centered behavior, his girlfriend Janey (Kate Ashfield) leaves him. His fame fades away and he falls into a life of crime, drugs, and gangsters led by Grimshanks (Tom Bell), where he meets Anna (Emily Corrie). ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

This movie is sort of like "Requiem for a Dream" with "Blade" special effects. I was suprised to find out it went straight to DVD. The critics would have liked this movie. The story is based on the real life adventures of the screenwriter. Having British actors say witty things always makes things more interesting, and the Cinematography was good. The story falls a little flat though. Overall, the movie was entertaining enough for me to give it 2.5 stars. I liked the S&M scene at the club and the catacomb fight. Be warned that both segments are graphic. As for the DVD extras, make sure to click on the "?" symbol, or you'll miss most of the featurettes.
