Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Painted in mile-wide strokes of black satirical comedy, The Last Supper turns intolerance into a parlor trick, then repeats it ad nauseam in case we missed the joke. Still, redundancy can be fun when applied to the premeditated murder of right-wing extremists by self-righteous left-wing zealots; director Stacy Title is an equal-opportunity offender, never taking sides. The grisly high jinks commence when a truck-driving, child-molesting, Hitler-loving ex-Marine (Bill Paxton, acing the role) is accidentally killed while dining with a clutch of snobby liberal grad students, played with uniform excellence by Cameron Diaz (showing early promise), Ron Eldard, Courtney B. Vance, Annabeth Gish, and coproducer Jonathan Penner. Having acquired a taste for blood, the wine-poisoning liberals stage "last suppers" with hand-picked targets (Charles Durning, Mark Harmon, Jason Alexander, and ultimately Ron Perlman), eventually attracting a suspicious sheriff (fine work by SNL alumnus Nora Dunn). It's got all the subtlety of a pile-driver, but The Last Supper craftily defends free speech by exposing its most vicious violations. --Jeff Shannon

5.0 out of 5 stars A Machiavellian Menu?, May 9, 2005
This review is from: The Last Supper (DVD)
It was a dark and stormy night when five liberal graduate students in Iowa meet for Sunday dinner and find that in an excess of gratitude (for providing a ride to one of their members) they have invited a right-wing nut case to join them. Before dinner is over, the guest has pulled a knife and threatened several of the students, and in a move that is obviously defensive but not self-defense, one of the students delivers a knife to the back of the guest, who then dies. Contemplating their options, the students determine the best course is to dispose of the body in the backyard. As they debate the "how the liberals talk and talk and don't do anything" (except that they did) the opportunities for future dinner "dates" and just a bit of arsenic in the wine becomes a reality. As the plants in the backyard flourish with the new fertilizer, the sheriff is becoming curious, the students are nervous and on edge - and the very Last Supper delivers a truly Machiavellian twist.

Did the choice of title chase away the intended audience? Perhaps that is the explanation for why this film is so little known. Save it for a dark and stormy night, and be ready for a surprise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intellectual Gem, March 23, 2005
This review is from: The Last Supper (DVD)
Group of intellects create their own moral dilemma. I saw this movie years ago and it's been one of my all time favorite conversation pieces. If you like intelligent conversation, and always think you're right... SEE THIS. Cameron Diaz is a minor player in this cast of majors, but she does the job. The one to look out for is "Hellboy". Enjoy. And then remember it the next time you have a dinner party.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've watched this over and over, March 8, 2005
By no_deadbeats "Toni" (Arlington, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Last Supper (DVD)
I'm not sure how or where I stumbled across this movie, but I never miss it when it comes on and now I own it. Don't take this movie too seriously, watch it for entertainment value and you'll have a great time. Excellent and original concept. I love it. Rent it, own it, watch it!
