Whilst most of the beats of this movie are fairly pedestrian, in that it's a gritty, dark, apocalypse story, with no great intricacy to the plot, it has far more artistry to it than you might first assume.

Whilst Harvey Keitel is as good as you would expect in his role as a, "preacher" predicting the coming doom, a big shock for many will be Hayden Christensen, in what is a career highlight, playing Kurt, a man who has been suffering from PTSD for nearly half of his life. The script has an often dreamlike quality to it and leans heavily against the great Allen Ginsberg work, Howl, which is a piece that both texturally informs the movie and Hayden's acting as it veers from the lucid to the imagined, in a way that leaves the viewer never entirely sure if what we're seeing through Kurt's eyes is real or not. The photography works very well with its predominantly low light scenes and whilst the budget is obviously fairly low, it is used well and the few sets/locations present don't make the film feel cheap.
In short, I'd highly recommend checking The Last Man out, if for nothing else than simply to witness Hayden Christensen putting in his best performance yet.… Expand
