Console best movie i've ever seen.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
dgrabau49 This show is awful. It's a much worse version of Last Ship. The lame writing and the bad story arcs hold it back. Pass
ronnieh47 This could have been a blockbuster, A navy commander of a nuclear sub caught up in the world between obeying orders and nuking 4.3 million people to further a covert objective for --oh we all know who gives such orders--and after deifying the US government to the point of ignoring a direct firing order--in the eight bells episode they kowtow to a little rat of a man on a local power trip to the point of sacrificing one of their own. Nobody bought that --stupid editor in whop chief -- you blew it--that could have been a cult classic now because of your incredibly stupid somehow politically correct writing/thinking---its just so much drivel
s k I was curious to see what all the hype surrounding Last Resort was all about, so when it popped up for free viewing on Netflix I gave it a shot. When it was all said and done, I found some of the shows (or parts of shows) to be interesting, and others to be totally off the wall. The same with the acting. Andre Braugher was the best, IMO (except when he grimaced and bared his teeth; that's an image I'd like to get out of my head forever), and it was a real mixed bag after that. Daisy Betts was okay -- slightly reminiscent of Jennifer Garner in Alias (which is not a good thing in my book), but better. I'm not a big fan of Dichen Lachman, either in Dollhouse or Last Resort. And Scott Speedman's performance/role went increasingly downhill as the series raced to the finish line. (The rest of the cast is more or less forgettable.) All in all, I found the series somewhat entertaining, but I understand why it got canned -- it's just not that good.
Maddie Finch Why was this show cancelled - I have no freaking idea. It had it all: a brilliant cast, an exciting story line, a great setting and immediacy. Typical for Shawn Ryan's creations it is a mind bender, operating in the grey areas of morality and therefore making it hard to tell who are the goodies, baddies or the just plain crazies. The performance of Andre Braugher as Captain Marcus Chaplain needs to be congratulated and even the casting of veterans like Robert Patrick and beauties like Australia's Dichen Lachman weren't enough to get the ratings. Lucky for the fans, the cancellation was in sight early enough to allow writing of a proper ending and tying up of all lose ends. If you like your shows with real characters, human conflict and unwavering heroes - this is one for you.
