The Last Resort (2009)

Very Cool!!!

Redundant and unnecessary.

People are voting emotionally.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The movie was not that good. The plot was just natural. The acting were not that good and it was too short to explain and show the viewers what is has to say. I had been looking for something but I didn't find it. The casting was weak. I was able to expect what would happen next. The characters are so few. On the other side, this movie may not be suitable for children due to some violent scenes and some sexual contents and languages. The number of harsh words was enormous. I gave it a two out of ten just because it was shot in a nice place. I think it would be better if they placed subtitles to some scenes where in other language was used. I may not recommend it to all those horror fans for the story is weak.

5 young girls go to Mexico for a bachelorette party. They drink, party, and hook up. The next morning, four of them go on a sigthseeing tour and end up getting robbed and left for dead. The fifth girl has to track her friends down with the help of two vacationing party boys.That was the setup. Then, in the second half of the movie, it turns into "The Shining." The girls take refuge in a deserted town which turns out to be an evil place with a history. It causes people to go insane and do violent things such as kill friends, eat body parts, and have sex with dead bodies. When the fifth girl and the boys finally find the four friends, they are already totally crazy. Sophia, played by America Olivo (who I liked in Bitch Slap), tries to rescue her friends but ends up going crazy, too.Not much of a story. The girls are like five versions of one character with nothing to distinguish them from one another. I fast-forwarded through a lot of it and I don't feel like I missed anything. Boring, routine thriller that fails to have any effect on the viewer.

Okay, so as is my usual habits, I rented this movie and then read the reviews and message boards while opening credits were rolling. For the most part, everybody was in agreement that this movie sucked something fierce, however, I don't really share their opinion. Now as a rule, I WILL give a movie a bad review if it deserves, but in this case, I don't think it does. Essentially, four women end up alone in a deserted resort that has a bloody, ugly past where evil spirits still reside. What makes this story work is A) Interior Mexico is a damn scary place and B) The resort, even in the daytime is creepy as hell. Agreed, the acting isn't top bill Hollywood fair. None of the girls are ugly, but a few are hotter than Georgia asphalt. I wish they'd made the movie a little longer and given a bit more story to the back story, but that's just me. Overall, I thought it was a decent B flick. Don't expect Tarantion or Polanski and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

After a prologue showing a man brutally murdering a bound woman, five girls take a vacation in Mexico to celebrate one of them getting married. After a night of partying four of them are abandoned in the middle of nowhere by some Mexican thugs (the fifth one ,Sophie, got lucky the night before and didn't join them for the little trip) As Sophie and her 'one night stand' guy and his friend look for her missing friends, the other ladies stumble over a strange church/resort that seems to affect them in a bad way.For a movie that's only one hour & 7 minutes (excluding credits), this one sure takes awhile on the set-up. The horror elements don't even really come into effect until the last 10-15 minutes (the guy from the prologue is relegated to just a two short flashbacks and those scenes seem like filler. The movie itself is alright for what it is, i guess. The production values are decent and it did keep me (semi) interested. Of course the ending leaves it WIDE open for a sequel.Eye Candy: Sita Young gets topless, her hair covers her nipples for the most part thoughMy Grade: C-Lionsgate DVD Extras: Only a promo for Break.com; trailer for this movie; and trailers for "Frontier(s)", "The Slaughter". That's all
