The Last Time Trailers

Ted Ryker is the top salesman in the New York office of a business machine company; the corporate stock lives by quarterly sales numbers, the competition is keen, and the economy may be in a downturn. Ted's company is marking time until a new product is ready – probably in a few months. Into the mix comes a new hire, a callow Midwesterner named Jamie, who's come East with his fiancée Belisa.

Made for a reputed $4 Million dollars and released in 2007 to theatres in the USA. This is a pretty left field film which has the benefit of some great actors with the leads particularly good, who suck you into a spiders web of a story which though the big revelation does not wholly ring credible, is none the less well worth watching. As a footnote, this smart little indie film just shows how big Hollywood so often wastes millions of dollars on unworthy projects and poor film making.Finally i thought that Amber Valletta made the film work, while she was ably assisted by Michael Keaton who has become a really impressive and very versatile actor, who has left Batman a very long way behind.

Jesus just call this movie The Big Kahuna light. I saw all this in character development first 20 minutes then quit watching. Keaton-call mom show his soft underbelly ....Frasier copy of Mormon guy. Blah Blah Blah. Total copy. Nough said. Good news is you'll sell enough copies to lazy sales managers to show their flunky crew cause it's a sales movie with a certain percentage market. Sigh.

Wasn't expecting much, but was shocked at all the subtle touches of the movie. Had me fooled...Keaton as usual was great and for the most part carried the movie. Great to see so many great character actors in the movie like Stern, Lerner....don't get to see Danny Stern enough. Appreciated more the second time when you see all the layers that were put in....Amber Valletta was pretty hot. Never thought she was much of an actress before this but she holds her own....Best scene in the movie is the coference scene. Brendan has never been better....

After browsing through some titles online on Netflix, I watched The Last Time on a whim. Lately I've been enjoying romances and I also work in sales, so I thought this might be an interesting film for me personally. I wasn't expecting too much since the ratings are rather mediocre and I had never heard of this movie, but I am glad I gave it a look.Michael Keaton is absolutely brilliant in this movie. He is the top salesman for a company and is driven by an inner rage that makes him successful. He is forced to take the bumbling Brendan Fraser under his wing and the fun begins. Keaton is great fun as this confident jerk who tells it like it is. His relationship with Fraser and Fraser's fiancé, however, pulls on Keaton's inner demons and he begins to change. I think the description of this film is best left at that.The Last Time is a nice little psychological thriller with a touch of romance added to the equation. It is definitely worth a look. Rating 8 of 10 stars.
