One Last Shot

This was a great start to what would become an amazing series. I enjoyed the fun introduction to characters that would soon become the infamous Ricky and Julian from Trailer Park Boys the series. Being filmed in black white gave the film a nice touch. This gave the short film an older artsy feel to it. I am bias because I have watched the series prior to seeing this short film. But despite that I believe anyone who sees this should be able to appreciate the simple relationship of these characters being developed for future films and the series.

So this film is precursor to TPB. Robb Wells stars as Robb and John Paul Tremblay as Gary William aka GW. John Dunsworth plays Mr. Lahey who happens to be GW's boss. The film and characters aren't the greatest and there's definitely a lot of fleshing out certain details and characteristics between One Last Shot and the debut of Trailer Park Boys. But this is no doubt where it began.

Available on Netflix Canada at the time of this writing (September 2018).

This story was obviously low budget. Much lower than tpb. The story is really good. All of them really do a great job. I liked it. Shows that they can do other situations not just comedy.

Well put together with a story full of hints about what's going. Multiple locations and extras give it real validity but the picture quality could be a bit sharper...give it a go.

So much more than the precursor to TPB. Definitely more somber with a great ending.
