The Last Man (I) (2019)
8/10
Completely unexpected!
19 April 2020
I really like Hayden Christensen and I'm a big fan of apocalypse-type movies, so despite the terrible reviews, I couldn't pass on this.

This movie was kind of a mind@#$&, but not in a bad way as if it didn't know what it is or what it wants to accomplish. Hayden's character was a complicated one and it was really painful to watch him at times. The filmmakers did a great job making me feel the anxiety, fear, discomfort, hopelessness, etc.

Hayden Christensen did an amazing job, his friend and Noe were ok, and the rest of the cast was meh (some maybe even annoying). But, it's a low budget movie and really, those other people didn't make much difference anyway.

There's really no easy way to describe this movie, to me it had the elements of:
  • Shelter (Michael Shannon)
  • Man Down (Shia Labeouf)
  • Joker (Joaquin Phoenix)
  • Mad Max (Mel Gibson)
  • Clockwork Orange
  • and something else that I can't really pinpoint.


If you're a fan of Hayden, apocalyptic type of movies, odd low budget movies, or any of the movies I mentioned below, give this one a shot.
