Last Orders (2001)
4/10
Good Casts Don't Always = Good Movies
9 November 2004
LAST ORDERS involves some of Britain's greatest actors playing characters who are taking the ashes of their late friend to be sprinkled off Margate Pier , their friend in question being played by British acting legend Michael Caine

Impressed ? I wasn't because there's very little in the way of plot , with much of the story being told in flash back but don't expect anything resembling PULP FICTION or MEMENTO because this is just about as low concept as a movie can get , if you're able to get to the end credits without nodding off you have done very well . Perhaps your idea of extreme sports is watching paint dry ?

The more I think about it the more I'm disappointed with it . Look we've got Michael Caine , Helen Mirren , Bob Hoskins and Ray Winstone in the same movie and little happens . Wouldn't have been much better if Hoskins and Mirren were getting bothered by the IRA trying to muscle into their patch so they hire Caine as an assassin who gets jailed for throwing a man off a tower block and he has to pay protection money to Winstone who rules the prison wing . That would have been a great British movie
