Movie Info

If you met Adolph Hitler when he was just a struggling cartoonist, wouldn't you have done the world a big favor by murdering him? That philosophical question provides the linchpin of this black comedy. Jude (Cameron Diaz), Pete (Ron Eldard), Paulie (Annabeth Gish), Marc (Jonathan Penner), and Luke (Courtney B. Vance) are five graduate students who are confirmed members of the political left, participate in small-scale activism, and share a house together. One night, Pete is stuck in the middle

This sour, repetitive fare fails to feed our hunger for either laughter or enlightenment. It's all empty calories and reactionary chic.

As the body count gets higher, and the housemates begin to question their high-and-mighty purposes, the movie stumbles under its sophomoric moral weight.

This low-budgeter that "came out of nowhere" is a fresh, pungent tale about Right and Left--and Right and Left--in contempo American politics, well-acted by a gifted ensmeble, including the young Cameron Diaz.

It falls apart, but the cool cast and caustic script will leave most right-thinking people well satisfied.

The Last Supper shows some darkly effective visual style, but it has none of the wit needed to save such a story from lumbering obviousness and sophomoric political debate.

You know you're in good hands in The Last Supper from the well-directed first scene.

Deliciously Dark!

The flick seems like a long and well-told joke; one that's enjoyable to listen to despite the lack of a truly resounding punchline.

The Last Supper clearly shows that the noble principles are of little use when people can't overcome their lack of common sense.

Great premise. Lousy movie.

The film's premise will undoubtedly lure in the liberal faction. They'll be in for a surprise.

Black comedy about the moral emptiness of all politically activated violence.

Audience Reviews for The Last Supper

Tense and scary black comedy, with a really good message. Well done.

This is the reason why I hate politics. You welcome yourself into this shit, you become a killer even if you don't want to. The only part I enjoyed is the food. I must say those looked delicious . And the ending was nice. Serves them right to act like a God.
