"Last Call" is a 19-minute live action short film from 2009, so this one is also already over 5 years old. The writer and director is Nick Corporon. Looking at the right side of the title's IMDb page, one could guess that it is a gay-themed short film, but this is only partially true in my opinion. I think there is more to this one in terms of the story. I must say I liked most of the actors and Corporon had a decent cast to work with here. But sadly, his screenplay does not fulfill the requirements for a real quality film. I have no problem with the occasionally absurdity here or the fantasy aspects, but when the film goes very much into detail, it just does not look too authentic or even touching, what it certainly could have been given the topic. In the end, it is not a failure, but a really mediocre outcome. I cannot recommend the watch.
