Last Known Location

The idea and premise around this movie was good. There was some excellent character development and realistic story writing regarding a very difficult subject matter.

Some parts were a little bit unrealistic when it came to dialog and some of the character relationships which made the movie seem a bit amateur.

I do like how the director did not tip toe around to what is likely to happen when women are held captive in some basement of a sicko.

It would have been nice to give a little more character development around the antagonist or perhaps provide a little more of a backstory to why he became a monster.

All in all this is like a lower quality but better written Lifetime movie.

A very unusual movie and tricky to review. The script reads like it should fit in the "torture porn" genre -- a strangely popular film theme in 2024 -- but no, it doesn't. On diggimg deeper, we realize that is because the script was written by one of the three female leads. Which is also unusual. It is clearly a low-budget indie, yet it runs for almost two hours, a length usually reserved for Hollywood blockbusters. Unusual. For most of its run-length, it can't seem to decide if it wants to be a police procedural, or a character study of women in jeopardy. Because of this indecision, it ultimately fails at both. Yet the production values are excellent and it does hold the attention. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."

In Philadelphia, the lesbian English tutor Callie Holloway (Aimee Theresa) is kidnapped while jogging, locked in the basement of a house and forced to have intercourses with the abductor. A couple of months later, the psychologist Danay Edwards (Sophia Lucia Parola) is also kidnapped by the same man and forced to the same conditions as Callie. Philadelphia PD Detectives Theresa Dellassandro (Jamie Kerezsi) and Marcus Bridgeman (Dax Richardson) are investigating the cases and trying to find anything in common. When the bartender Marly Collum (Jennifer M. Kay) is also kidnapped by the man while going home, her new boyfriend Keith Bradberry (Patrick Hickman) reports her disappearance to the police and is interviewed by Dellassandro and Bridgeman that believe he may be a suspect. But soon a parking ticket provides a clue to be followed by them. Meanwhile, the women are raped every day by the maniac.

"Last Known Location" (2024) is a surprisingly great thriller not available in Brazil. The screenplay is tense and anguishing, with the three women submitted to humiliating conditions and abuses. The plot point is not expected and shows how insane the brothers were. The conclusion with a happy ending is unusual, but refreshing, in this type of story. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): Not Available.

Great Movie! Love the ending! Very suspenseful! The actors and actresses did a nice job. I really liked how it got us hooked in the very beginning. The ending had a neat twist. Not what I had expected at all. Very good storyline. I like how they tied all three of the characters together. The male detective was very funny. Will definitely recommend this movie to others. It had a combination of humor and suspense. It was very believable. The opening was very engaging. The music throughout the movie was well thought out. I like the idea of all of the flashbacks....especially when the therapist was a young girl.

This movie is by far better than these very bad reviews you're seeing. It is definitely an independent movie but in the absolute best way possible. The story is unique, the acting is genuine and the characters are captivating. You really get sucked in right away and you feel like you know the people you're watching. The story is told beautifully, I appreciate that they focus on the women and not the bad guy. It's refreshing to have a woman writer for once and it shows. AND THE TWIST! Wow, I really did not see that coming. Seriously it is totally worth the watch! And who doesn't like to support independent artists right?
