A middle-aged slacker, who as a young man had effectively masturbated for a living under the name ‘Starbuck’, discovers that he is the father of 533 kids. I thought Delivery Man’s plot sounded quite interesting when I saw the trailer for this a few weeks prior. How hindsight makes fools of us all.
There’s something about the faces of Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara that just keeps you guessing. Maybe it’s the former’s slightly weary voice or…
Caspian Tredwell-Owen‘s last writing effort was The Island all the way back in 2005. A lightweight sci-fi adventure, it was mildly effective if not particularly memorable….

It would be easy to dismiss this as an $84 million waste of time. Going with the motto, ‘bigger is better’, Red 2 (penned by Jon and Erich Hoeber and based on Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner’s Marvel characters) can never be accused of being dull or slow, but they might have gone a bit too big.

Adrian’s life is anything but straightforward (I’ll say it again; it’s just very bleak) and so the plot can be forgiven for swaying every now and then.
As it is, Last Time might bore some people, but for those willing to invest some time, this is an at times intriguing look into the unique world of Macao.
