Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Excellent adaptation.
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
I believe the moral of this story is - If you can help it - DON'T LIVE IN A BIG CITY. Even the best people on earth can have a bad day, but living in a big city where everyone is for themselves can turn anyone into road rage. People need to show a little compassion for the other guy and not live just in their own life.This movie was very well portrayed by the two women involved. Totally different lives, totally different views, but ended up in the same situation.I know not all people will agree and not very many will even watch the movie, but if at least 1 person stops themselves from road rage, it was worth it.
I can't believe anyone thought this movie was any good. It follows 2 women, only one of whom generated any empathy with the audience, and even that was a stretch and only temporary as the movie unfolds. Life's hard - we knew that, but that's no excuse for what happens.The whole thing was senseless, completely lacking in any material that was thought-provoking and a total waste of time.There was an attempt at character development, but it was very shallow, especially considering events which occur later on which are not in keeping with what little character development did occur.The ending, in contrast to what some other reviewers claimed, was not a shock other than that it was put together so poorly.I suppose if you generally like movies aired on Lifetime, this one might be for you, but as for me it only reinforces the reasons why I generally don't bother with them.
I thought the movie well represented the reality of modern life. News stories on a regular basis highlight the impact of stress, poverty, and other conditions that push people to do unthinkable things. Last Exit keeps you on the edge of your seat as you watch the events of the day unfold in the lives of two very different women. The movie was not a sensational unrealistic Hollywood movie - it was very much a low key realistic look at the lives of the two women. One women is quite well off with husband and child, the other women divorced, in financial difficulty and struggling to hold a job and raise her son. The movie illustrates how one person can reach breaking point after a number of unfortunate events occur over a period of time. My wife really enjoyed the movie and so did some friends we recommended it to. Very good.
I thought this film had so much potential with the two women's lives running parallel and knowing they were going to intersect. But I felt dizzy by the stress and angst of the characters. I thought what might have made my viewing experience less dizzying was that their stress could have been exposed for sure but the character response to the stress could have been more tranquil. I mean who could live their lives like that. As it turned out the ending could have been even more dire given a two hour film with little touch with reality. Yes, we all have angst in our lives, loads of it but it's a personal choice to be that blinded by it.
