A wealthy man has been holed up high above Las Vegas in a penthouse hotel room for nearly a month, clearly suffering from some unnamed trauma. His night with a mysterious young woman turns into several nights, as he discovers that she is more than a match for him intellectually. She, too, is intrigued and while she initially stays because he is paying her, the two begin a complex relationship that could turn into something more than just lustful desire. But both have secrets, and getting to the bottom of those--without the inevitability of money getting in the way--will be a challenge.

The Last Days of Capitalism succeeds in staying afloat thanks to the charisma of its actors, their fluid chemistry, and the film's sporadically striking dialogue.

Rated: 3/5

If there is ever a time to let acting alone, it's in the very personal. "The Last Days of Capitalism" is able to cut through any faux thematic depth by way of great performance and greater capture.

Rated: 3/5

[The Last Days of Capitalism] makes for a rather convincing portrait of the faux American dream and white privilege.

Viewers may debate who profits from whom and whether capitalism is the victim but that ambiguity is one of the film's strengths.

Boring. Inane conversation with two boring people, blithering about nothing. Terrible.
