An absolute waste of money

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Last Resort is a little slow to start but given time it just gets better and better the more of it you watch, its a shame that is only went for one season, it should have been given more but i am not surprised as most decide if a series by the end of the first episode.the entire concept of the show caught my attention, the idea was great and executed, but the story was told to quickly, it needed more time to go through everything correctly so it would make more sense. They used good actors to play the main characters which worked out good. really if you haven't watched it then your missing out on an amazing show.Worth watching, just give it a go you will enjoy it.

USS Colorado is a nuclear sub and they are tasked to pick up a team Navy SEALs. Then they receive a strange questionable order to launch their nukes against Pakistan. Captain Marcus Chaplin (Andre Braugher) refuses the order to fire, and the US gov proclaims it a mutiny. After escaping an attack from another US sub, the crew and SEALs take refuge on a small island.It was a convoluted idea to start off with. It had all kinds of questions that remained unanswered. They nuked Pakistan and it's treated like an afterthought. It would probably be advisable to actually show the nuclear blasts over Pakistan. At least then it's not something that just happened off stage.But once they started at such a convoluted place, they had no where to go but add more and more complications. It's like a death spiral that they can't pull out of. They pull in the islanders, then an insurrection among the mutiny, then the Chinese and the Pakistanis. It's a big ball of crazy.

I was curious to see what all the hype surrounding Last Resort was all about, so when it popped up for free viewing on Netflix I gave it a shot. When it was all said and done, I found some of the shows (or parts of shows) to be interesting, and others to be totally off the wall. The same with the acting. Andre Braugher was the best, IMO (except when he grimaced and bared his teeth; that's an image I'd like to get out of my head forever), and it was a real mixed bag after that. Daisy Betts was okay -- slightly reminiscent of Jennifer Garner in Alias (which is not a good thing in my book), but better. I'm not a big fan of Dichen Lachman, either in Dollhouse or Last Resort. And Scott Speedman's performance/role went increasingly downhill as the series raced to the finish line. (The rest of the cast is more or less forgettable.) All in all, I found the series somewhat entertaining, but I understand why it got canned -- it's just not that good.

I've been waiting with anticipation for this series. At last, a show that has a true Tom Clancy feel about it. That is it was until I watched it.I understand that writers can take artistic licence especially when it comes to jam packing drama into 45 minutes. The obvious victims of this licence however is the attention to detail and the plot.Whilst I don't expect absolute accuracy, I would prefer the writers don't think their audience are complete idiots. There were holes in the plot that you could pilot Red October through and the script must have been scribbled in crayon as I don't think the writers would have been old enough to use an ink pen.They had something that could have been great but they turned into to a military flavoured ( loosely used term) Days of our Lives.*SPOILER ALERT* Where was the discipline of the sailors, why were the officers never on board, you can nuke you're own country but a two bit hood can't be dealt with, why were civilians in charge of a NATO outpost in the Pacific, why was the CO always crying and flying off the handle. I would expect more emotional stability from a person who is in charge of nuclear weapons, why was a White House aide allowed to make strategic decisions ( in fact her character had the most balls of the whole cast) and where the hell was the President in all of this.This show due to its lack of fundamental research has not only damaged the brand of the US Armed Forces but it also further demonstrates the growing contempt that the writers have for the viewing public.
