![]() ![]() It was good to see Charles Grodin back on the big screen, who I loved in Midnight Run and Dave but the director didn't make the most out of the cast. Greata Gerwig put in a good performance, which must have been hard next to the Hollywood legend but she also seemed to be chatting rubbish most of the time. Part of it is due to the terrible movies that he has picked to star in and another part is that he actually over acts in some of his roles. From the terrible Jack & Jill to the average Stand Up Guys and The Son Of No One, he isn't guaranteed to pull in a big audiences in the cinemas anymore. What the hell has happened to Pacino? Since Scarface and the Godfather days, he has been one of my favourite actors but he has really made some crap lately. I just hope that he comes out with something decent next time. After waiting so long for Pacino to release a film, I am really disappointed with this bad attempt at an in depth look into a struggling actors career. I don't know what the director was trying to attempt with the movie and the whole feel and flow of the film was awful. This isn't as bad as Al Pacino's embarrassing moment in Jack and Jill when he's attempting to rap but it has to go down as one of his worse films. The relationship with his best friends lesbian daughter was strange and sketchy, along with the weird girl who wanted him to kill her husband. ![]() Al Pacino puts in a top performance, as usual, and he shows some deep emotion throughout the film but the film seemed pointless and I struggled to stay interested. I understand that the man is going through a mid-life crisis and he's finding hard to separate his stage acting to real life but the script is a right mess and I personally found it quite confusing. I really got frustrated and annoyed with this film because Al Pacino is chatting complete crap from the beginning to the end. As his world slowly starts turning upside-down, Simon embarks upon an affair with a friend's lesbian daughter (Greta Gerwig) but soon finds it is difficult to keep pace with her. "The Last Act", from Academy Award-winning director Barry Levinson, tells the story of Simon Axler (Al Pacino) an aging actor who is struggling to separate scenes from his play from real life events. ![]()
