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

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.

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.

Michael Keaton and the ending are the only two good things in this movie.
