Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Interesting Independent Movie
During the first half of this movie I thought: When does it start to get more interesting?
But the second half was quite terrific! I absolutely liked the "Oliver Twist"-kind-a-like storyline. And since I only purchased this movie because of director Stephen Norrington, I wasn't disappointed at all.
When it comes to the dvd itself, I only DEEPLY have to complain about one thing: there are no subtitle whatsoever! Since I'm German and quiet fluently in American English, I really ... Read More
Rating: - Dark, surrealistic riff on life and art
Billy Byrne is a talented young artist on the verge of hitting the Big Time. Unfortunately, Billy makes the mistake of believing his own hype and when his debut creation tanks, he loses faith in himself as an artist. Desperately trying to recapture the magic touch, he begins a downward spiral into drug addiction and crime. Can Billy save himself or is he destined to be one of the broken people who inhabit this picture?
I'm not a fan of avant-garde anything, but I quite enjoyed the dark vision ... Read More
Rating:  - An Eye Popping, Brilliant, Emotion Charged Roller Coaster
The Last Minute is one of those truly rare motion pictures that deserves far wider recognition than it will ever get. How unfortunate. I'd never heard of the thing until recently stumbling across quite by accident. A virtual eye popping, roller coaster of a flick, it starts with a BANG and never lets its hooks out of you. Visually, The Last Minute is as impressive looking a picture as I've ever seen.
The DVD extras are (mostly) exceptional adding to the whole experience as few extras features ... Read More
Rating: - Gorgeously decadent film
This is the most heart-wrenching film I've seen in years. A combination of dark humor and extreme trauma at it's best. Stephen Norrington has pulled Arthur Miller's ploy of ripping out your soul and sticking in his.
The story is fantastical; just watching it is like being shot through a blow-dart gun of fantasy, but the gun's real. Wonderfully manipulative direction, I can't compare this movie to any other because it would be just that: a comparison, and there is no point in comparing a unique ... Read More
Rating:  - wow, this movie is by the director of blade!
wait a minute, thats not a credential. blade was nothing special in my opinion, but it wasn't especially terrible like the last minute. the back cover of the dvd compares itself to trainspotting, a clockwork orange, and fight club, among others. it claims to be more of everything from those movies, like a crazy, wonderful hybrid of a movie that is supposed to be an unforgettable experience. of course it is not, that is why i gave it 1 star. even with no hype based on other movies, this one still sucks. i'd ...
