Very Dull

When I began watching Last Days I did so in the hope that the bad reviews I had read and the negative thoughts I had begun to harbour would be proved sorely wrong. I hoped it would be a slow, but moving and emotional depiction of a talented but troubled man making his weary way to total self destruction. It was, however just as the reviewers before me had promised; slow, boring and emotionless, giving no attention to building a character that we would care about. Those involved in the film probably assumed we would know and care enough about the character from the celebrity the story was based around. They were wrong. Instead, after approximately 45 minutes of Pitt's poorly microphoned ramblings (I should point out, his performance is good, the 'story' lets him down) I found myself admiring the back of my eyelids (a trick picked up from my dad). Disappointed, I turned it off. Maybe I'm just not arty enough... Or maybe it's just a very poor film. Either way I'd recommend choosing another way to spend 90 minutes of your time.
