DVD Review: A desperate run...
Summary: 4 Stars
Fred Savage, the child actor from The Wonder Years is now all grown up. Like so many child actors, he needs a way to shed his goodie-two-shoes image that he acquired as a kid actor. Enter THE LAST RUN.
Fred plays a young man who is on top of the world early in the film. He is head-over-heels in love with the girl of his dreams (Amy Adams). Just one problem: his girlfriend is a "high roller" and a player, and she's already phasing him out of her life as soon as the opening credits are over. Uh oh! {As a sidenote, I don't know if Amy Adams could fill the bill as every man's fantasy, but she SURE does equal what I'd call a dreamgirl!}
The inevitable break-up sends the poor guy into a tailspin. Actually, that's an understatement. Losing her TOTALLY wrecks his life. (On a biographical note, I can certainly relate to this!). The combination of getting dumped by the woman he wanted to someday marry + some very bad advice from his best friend leads to a perfect storm of bad decisions.
His friend tells him to rebound by going on a string of meaningless one-night-stands. He follows these instructions, but they end up costing him just about everything - both financially as well as emotionally.
He starts spending thousands on high-priced escort girls & strippers. It ends up costing him his job as he simply can't function anymore. He gets to the point where he is addicted to having sex, and he actually ends up using sex as a sort of weapon against women. No, that's not to say he becomes a rapist. Rather, it's the domination (i.e.: being in control of the situation) that becomes the end-all for him.
While the basic plot outline of this film sounds like material for a Romantic comedy, this is not a film that I would categorize as an RC movie. To be sure, there are a few funny parts (including a hilarious allusion to The Terminator), but the overall timbre of the movie is surprisingly dark.
If you're looking for a drama with a few humorous lines and a pretty good amount of gratuitous nudity, then this is a film worth checking out. If you're gunning for a straight RC, I'd advise that you look elsewhere. This is NOT what I'd call a "date movie!"
