Nick Schager Slant Magazine Seemingly developed at the David Mamet Institute for Twist-Laden Salesmen Dramas. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 6, 2007 Full Review Time Out Rated: 1/6 Jul 21, 2007 Full Review Lou Lumenick New York Post [Writer-director] Caleo isn't able to sell The Last Time -- not the affair and especially not the ludicrous twist ending. Rated: 1/4 May 18, 2007 Full Review Heather Huntington ReelzChannel.com Love LaBute? Mad for Mamet? Well, let me introduce you to Michael Caleo. Rated: 8/10 Aug 27, 2008 Full Review Urban Cinefile Critics Urban Cinefile 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.

M B 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/30/24 Full Review steve d It is fairly uncomfortable but the twist is worth it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Mike J He has to a few more times but then he is lord king lord of north north king Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/22 Full Review Audience Member Michael Keaton and the ending are the only two good things in this movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review alex k My Favorite Film Is 1941's Citizen Kane. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A story of betryal, beware of the trojan horse. Macho salesman Keaton is king of his sales force and mentors a new employee, newly arrived from Ohio. But the bait he represents ruins a company. Produced, written and directed by the same man.

Its damn good, with a comedy beginning and a realistic twist at the end. The movie should have been titled The Big Sell instead of this rather uninteresting title: The Last Time. Remember what I said above: Beware the Trojan Horse.

The corporate stock lives by quarterly sales numbers, the competition is very intense, and the economy may be headed into a downturn. Ted's company is marking time until a revolutionary new product is ready, probably within a few months. Some competitors may know something about this secret innovation, through industrial espionage, and fear its impact on the market."--- wikipedia SEE the entire movie here; www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT6d7Y9WpJE [img]https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTG1NCcRZBx2J-n2QlGoqJWs1SNq2_HT-ROuAN2e2MiaMFOHp56ld6AO7K-[/img] REVIEWS by the unpaid; 40% only Keaton made this film watchable but the character would have been better served as a side character in another film, with every scene the film go... 50% Boring, draggy and predictable. Michael Keaton is the only good thing in this movie.
