The Last Son

Sombre, grim and slow The Last Son drags itself to an inevitable ending like a terminal disease. There's never any doubt how this little slice of misery is going to end but despite only running for 92 minutes it seems a lot longer. The cast crawl through every scene as if on the verge of collapse through exhaustion. There is no light and dark here, only inky blackness made even deeper by the constant howling wind and jarring electronic soundtrack. It's all been done before and a lot better too, 2005's "The Proposition" springs to make mind. Track down that movie and give this one a miss.
