A Hard Day in a Big City

In a big city, Beth Welland (Kathleen Robertson) is a divorced woman working as secretary in a law firm having problems with her boss and also financial difficulties to raise her ten year old handicapped beloved son Benji. On the day of Benji's birthday, Beth's life is completely affected when she is cut up by the executive Diana Burke (Andrea Roth) and misses the last exit in a highway, arriving late in her job. Meanwhile, Andrea is under pressure, depending on her presentation to an important client to be promoted in the company where she works, but having family problems at home, with her unemployed husband, two teenagers and a secret pregnancy. This incident early in the morning together with the stressed situations along their day will entwine and affect their lives and destinies.

I like to discover good low-budget unknown movies and "Last Exit" is one of the best I have recently seen. Living in a big city, driving every day, my daily life is no different from the two lead characters – I have problem with the violence in the traffic, being aware most of the time to avoid car hijack, at home, in my work; therefore, I have had a great identification with Diana and Beth regarding a hard day in a big city. The non-linear screenplay disclosing the parallel bad day of the two ordinary women is intriguing and suspenseful, holding the attention of the viewer until the very last scene. I only know the good "Ginger Snaps" from the director John Fawcett, but based on the sample of these two movies he seems to be a promising professional. Kathleen Robertson and Andrea Roth are awesome, developing human and totally credible characters. In the end, "Last Exit" is surprisingly refreshing and great and highly recommended. My vote is seven.
