MOVIE - LAST ORDERS - $$$$$ $$$$ (OUT OF 10)
STARRING - MICHAEL CAINE, BOB HOSKINS, HELEN MIRREN, TOM COURTENAY, DAVID HEMMINGS, RAY WINSTONE & GEORGE INNES.
ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN LA & NY IN FEBRUARY 2OO2, VIDEO RELEASE DATE AUGUST 13TH, 2002.
This film is based on the novel by Graham Swift, by the same name, that won the Booker Prize. The plot revolves around the death of Jack Dodds and his life unfolds in flashbacks as the rest of the characters seek to fulfill his Last Orders.
My favorite saying is "fond memories play havoc with reality". This film is unique in that as the characters privately reflect on Jack Dodds' life, and their relationship to him, the varnish is stripped away from an ordinary life.
