It's as forgettable as it is pretentious, essentially leftover scraps from the cinematic table of Guy Ritchie and a raft of video directors.

A mess of stylistic busywork, pushy techno scoring, and unappealing characters doing things we couldn't care less about.

The story is so vapid we end up feeling like we've been had.

THE LAST MINUTE is a bizarre, almost surreal film and a highly stylized look at the crazy nature of fame and the consequences when one falls from the public's grace. All in all, delivers on style, but comes up short on substance.
