4.0 out of 5 stars Thought Provoking, April 10, 2007

By	June Dean "movie fan" (San Diego, Ca. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Kiefer Sutherland's performance allowed you to see the human side of a murderer and what contributed to the path he chose. All the characters were believable. No matter what your positon on the dealth penalty, it makes you think.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Prison Movie I've Seen!, July 11, 2007

By	Disgusted Parent - See all my reviews

I usually dont like prison movies or Kiefer Sutherland movies (although I love him as Jack Bauer in 24), so I was pleasantly surprised by how good this movie was! This is by far the best prison movie I've seen. The acting was superb, especially from Sutherland who did an excellent job portraying the two sides of his character: one moment a violent, vile, hard-core murderer who has committed horrendous crimes and would probably do it again if given a chance and the next moment a vulnerable condemned man who regrets his mistakes and would have lived a different life if he could, a man who is the victim of a bad childhood and a foster care/juvenile justice system that failed him. Never has an actor done such a superb job of making me care about a character that my natural instincts were to hate.

I liked that this movie was able to make its point without being preachy or sappy. It did it by telling a good story, with interesting characters and excellent acting. It made me really think about my own views on the death penalty and what makes some people turn bad. I can't say that it changed my views, but it made me think. Most importantly, it makes me really want to DO something to help troubled youth BEFORE they get to the point of Sutherland's character.

Whether you want to be challenged to think or just want good entertainment, I'd recommend this movie highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the effort..., November 6, 2006

By	K. Garn "Screenwriting Prince" (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Last Light [Region 2] (DVD)

Yes, not only deeply moving, as other reviewers have said, but Last Light is also deeply disturbing. I found myself thinking about this movie for days after I watched it. It has more edgy realism than I expected, and kudos to Showtime and Director Kiefer Sutherland for taking the opportunity to go to those lengths. Even though it is a character-driven piece, the characters were gritty and deep enough - with perfect performances - to drive the movie all on their own. Not that everyone would take it to political lengths, but this was one of few performances profound enough to make me pause for a moment to consider my views on the death penalty and prison conditions. Intense, riveting, moving and well worth the attention you give to watch it. (But it needs to be produced for Region One DVD!)
