The Last Seven (2011)
Think about it !!!!!
Seen some reviews that criticise the locations used or how easy it would be to use the locations due to weekend filming etc - what the hell does that have to do with the film ? Yes some of the actors are wooden and poor, however the story and plot is excellent - i'd compare this to the brilliant early 2000's John Cusack film 'Identity' - rather than the usual mindless violence (& yep I love that as much as the next guy) this movie makes you think - you have to think about previous scenes etc but the excellent use of flashbacks (& later realised 'flashforwards') it all fits into place. Occasionally movies should be about making you think and not just being dumb spit dribblers - I love the all action movies but occasionally some thought provoking movies don't go amiss. As for Danny Dyer - he's had his critics for generally portraying a mindless football hooligan etc, however his brief involvement in this does show more to his ability. Guys if you're going to grab a DVD for a night in with the other half, give it a try - but make sure you do a little homework first, it's not a zombie / action / horror / etc etc film - it requires some thought and raises some discussion points - be prepared !!!! All in all I'd watch it again (and have done so) - if you want other thought provoking movies grab 'Moon' as well - another well under rated movie that deserves more.
