Review of The Last Station (2009) by Joe B — 04 Mar 2010
BO-ring!
Lord...this was a huge disappointment...especially considering the talent involved (and Paul Giamatti). Plummer does some nice work here and I think Mirren is beyond reproach. What these sprightly performances are doing in such a total boring drone of a film I'll never guess. It's just a pitiful stinker of a film...the music sounds bored, the art direction is bored, the grass looks bored...and the mostly British cast is so bored they don't even attempt Russian accents... It's bewildering.
The most odd is that there is no one to sympathize with...everyone behaves so erratically that you have no clue why they are acting they way they are. Especially the final 20 minutes has a roadblock so completely stupid that I wanted to shout at the screen "LET HER SEE HER FREAKING HUSBAND!!!!".
