Ted Riker (Michael Keaton), a hard-driving high-tech salesman, mentors the less experienced Jamie Bashant (Brendan Fraser) in the art of sealing the deal. Jamie is incompetent -- but his fiancée, Belisa (Amber Valletta), is irresistible. Ted and Belisa begin an affair that becomes an obsession for Ted. His sales record and the company's future go into free fall. It is only then that the master player learns that he himself has been masterfully played.

Seemingly developed at the David Mamet Institute for Twist-Laden Salesmen Dramas.

[Writer-director] Caleo isn't able to sell The Last Time -- not the affair and especially not the ludicrous twist ending.

Feels like a script that was written backwards, as if the twist ending occurred to [writer-director] Caleo first and he then filled out a story to get to it. Fair enough, except getting there in this case is just no fun.

Finding the all-important Achilles heel is the central focus of The Last Time, a routine office drama with a love triangle that unexpectedly turns into a biting character study.

Great movie! Although I had a hunch what would happen in the end the plot was excellent and kept me entertained, definitely recommend

It’s a travesty this movie has received such poor reviews. It is a classic. Very relevant in this modern day toxic male environment that encourages men to repress their emotional feelings in order to work hard and focus on surviving. Underscores how and why many men are scared to let their guard down with women.

Starts with a ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ type narrative, only to develop a subplot that takes over but doesn’t really become anything of significance to what the plot seemed to initially be, all before ending in a manner that is doubly as despicable as what one can imagine coming. Honestly it makes me think it may have been inspired by the ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ story only from a different angle. Still, the ending is lukewarm and milquetoast.

This started off looking cheesy, and the middle didn't inspire much confidence either. But these are great actors, and they did well with the material. The ending was the strongest point. I understand the poor reviews, but this was a worth it movie, to me.

It is fairly uncomfortable but the twist is worth it.
