3.0 out of 5 stars Decent enough for what it was., April 16, 2002

This review is from: The Last Stop (DVD)

Most of the opinions on this movie are mixed, either it's a ***** classic or a * DUD. The truth is it's just a solid little movie that doesn't really stand out either way.

A group of mismatched travellers are snowed-in in the Rocky Mountains. An officer (Adam Beach) stumbles across a bloody room and two of the hotel customers are missing. Since no one can come or go, he reasons that one of the travellers is the killer. The film scuttles along from there as most of these films do.

The characters are mostly irritating stereo-types - the black trucker with a shady past who's set his life straight, two redneck brothers, a bimbo, and a sleazy guy who would play Chuck Woolery's evil twin if they starred in a soap opera. Also along for the ride is Rose McGowan as a woman who's just passing through -- or is she? A poor-but-honest hotel keeper -- or is he? And a kid who is autistic -- or is he? Okay. He is.

The one thing that keeps me from rating this higher is some of the dialogue. One-liners fall flat time after time and as the villain is trying to escape in a Snow-Cat he keeps delivering corny phrases apparently to keep himself amused. I hate that!

If you thought Joyride and Jeepers Creepers were ***** affairs this might be a good movie for you, but if you're looking for nuanced examples of characters clashing against one another pick up Hitchcock's Lifeboat instead.

Mildly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars VERY GOOD BUT ONCE IS ENOUGH, August 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Last Stop (DVD)

Although it has its faults, The Last Stop is a fine movie. Claustrophobic and generally well-acted (although Rose McGowan is largely wasted and serves as windowdressing but little else), it's very entertaining and until near the end, keeps you guessing. My only regret in purchasing it is once you've seen it, it's not really the kind of film you'll probably want to watch again and again. As good as it is, I wish I'd rented this one instead of purchased it. But this tale of (mostly) strangers stranded in a blizzard with a killer in their midst, while far from the best of its kind, is well worth seeing--even if you only see it once.

It has it's plot holes, but The Last Stop is a brilliant little piece of indie filmmaking! A group of people get trapped in a motel during a snowstorm, and you guessed it: one of them is a killer! lol. Rose McGowan is a fantastic actress who's going to make it BIG! Her chilling, emotional character (Nancy) was what kept me drawn to this film. Well worth the purchase, if you're into independent thrillers. Certainly an improvement on other efforts (Phantoms for example).
