Dark, surrealistic riff on life and art.......2006-01-20

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 of this camera verity/music video-style movie. The cast is excellent with standout performances from Max Beesley as Billy, Jason Isaacs as Dave "Percy" Sledge, the singer/drug dealer, and Tom Bell as Grimshanks, the Fagin-like drug dealer/failed actor. The ickiest moments for me in this film were when Max is invited to Club Prosthesis, a kinky underground fetish club. The whole "medical procedure" theme made my skin crawl. The discovery of what was behind the closed door in the club was (frankly) funny and oddly charming by comparison. By far the best moments of the movie were the "musical interludes" by Percy Sledge, a psychotic killer, who alternates between homicidal rages and crooning like Frank Sinatra. It sounds bizarre, but the two "music video" moments actually blend in seamlessly to the whole movie.
The only drawback to this movie was a technical problem with the DVD itself. On the copy I had, the cursor tended to blend in so well with the background of several pages including the opening page that I had to guess as to its location. As a result, I doubt that I found all of the extra features on this DVD. As a side note, be sure to watch the movie all the way through the end credits as there are extra character scenes stuck in this last sequence.
While the overall tone of the movie is dark and gritty, the ending is uplifting and hopeful. "The Last Minute" is really a meditation on art, commercialism, and what it means to be an artist. I highly recommend this flick.

An Eye Popping, Brilliant, Emotion Charged Roller Coaster.......2004-12-23

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 ever do. As darkly hilarious as it is, this "Minute" also packs quite an emotional punch. Kudo's to Mr. Norrington who deserves greater recognition for this amazing film.

One caveat: Norrington wisely employs a terrific device by which we never know what our protagonist does to earn then lose his fame (director and star are on record as being at odds as to what Billy actually does). Were only that same thing had been employed for one scene: When Billy is told he doesn't want to know what's behind a certain door, we shouldn't find that out either. Personally, I laughed (in horror, but laughed) at this scene but I know others who were put off by the movie altogether because of these few seconds.

Every other aspect of the truly most bizarre nightclub "Prosthetic" is genius (as, actually is the moment in question, just too off-putting for most people). It is here where one of the film's most brilliant moments occurs: Percy "Sledge" breaking into the Sinatra classic "I've got you under my skin" while wreaking a gleeful malevolent stream of violence that is about as close to movie magic as we've ever seen.

Norrington has a cast that, quite simply, could not have been improved upon with Max Beesley giving a stand out performance as Billy - to watch the youthful energy of his clubby dance moves and the enthusiasm with which he embraces his burgeoning fame slip into confused despair, hopelessness and attempt at self redemption. Beesley has us routing for him even at his worst, for I think most of us can identify with Max's plight.

As the aforementioned Percy "Sledge" - Jason Isaacs is nothing short of terrifying, executing his violence with a Fred Astaire like grace and precision which is utterly disarming.

The Oliver Twist twist of the underground urchins with their modern day, more violent, Fagin (who doles out drug treats to the kiddies) is chillingly beautiful.

I also found the extended mad scene similar resonating strongly with Shakespeare's Lear - Max's meltdown/unhinging being so closely tied with what is happening in nature. Brilliant.

If "Minute" had been released theatrically stateside, I can't imagine it wouldn't do huge box office. There are audiences literally screaming for this type of originality. Hopefully, it's not too late to try. The seconds are ticking . . .

Seriously. See this movie. Or else!

Gorgeously decadent film.......2004-12-09

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 film with another.

The writer manages to convey a message of the unreality of reality. His colors are brilliant, his music sharper than glass, and the sounds of this spooky little world actually have texture.

This man has really beat the living hell out his peers. His grasp of satire and story-telling is far more mature than it should be for his age. It's an overwhelming film and often difficult to watch; there is so much emotion happening. It's funny, it's sad, it's maddening, it's frustrating.

It's just a gorgeously decadent film and I wish we were allowed to cuss on these reviews because I cannot say enough how good this movie is. Buy this movie. Get the unrated version. Watch it a hundred times. Learn from it. Learn from him.

After being lobotomized by this beautifully horrible world that's been created, you'll at the very least be left with one thing: Stephen Norrington's un-paralled combination of stunning visuals and music as a technique of story-telling after there are no more words left to say.

wow, this movie is by the director of blade!.......2004-07-08

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 like to compare it to a body consisting of skin and muscle. the muscle represents all the silly flashy stuff put into the movie to cover up something nonexistant: a plot, a character that you know something about and/or care about(the figurative skeleton, which must be in place for the muscles to work). i hope that analogy works well enough. so, the movie has a fair amount of imagery that is supposed to be wierd like a underground london party with a medical fetish theme, or the crazy old man that rules the underground with an army of knife-wielding outlaw children. these supposedly interesting scenes and characters seem too one-dimensional because there is no real story, just these chaotic cut scenes and "cutting-edge" electronic soundtrack i don't really care for. one of the other reviewers mentioned many hidden special features that explian the movie better and kind of gave you the whole picture. i don't agree. the special features were simply the cast and crew speculating about what you the viewer doesn't know either. you never get to hear from the writer/director, so i guess that is why you never find anything out. i must include the bright spots of this dvd, and there are three. 1. one character is known as a crooner, even though he dosen't look like it. he does a killer performance of "i've got you under my skin" while prancing around the afforementioned fetish party. 2. the one bright spot on the soundtrack is a good one from aphex twin, which plays during the closing scene. 3. one of the more unusual special features is the inclusion of some music videos that have nothing to do with the movie. the third video is el-p's "deep space 9mm". this is one of the coolest videos ever by one of the most original rappers ever. please enjoy it.

Have you ever seen trainspotting?.......2004-04-24

I remember watching this movie in the living room and after it was over my dad said," your really scraping the bottom of the barrel". Oh, but he wouldn't understand. This movie was unique in all it's aspect and I loved it. You have scenes were you go into this club where people are doing kinky doctor operations and then you have a guy in a stylish black suite dancing and singing to Frank Sinatra. Who could not love that!! I guess you have to have a slightly different tilt on the world to respect this movie. If you liked this, I recommend Trainspotting.
