Last Ferry

The genre of "gay thriller" has definitely been evolving to the point that once in awhile, there are films that exceed expectations. "Last Ferry" is not one of them. While there are some decent performances (Sheldon Best stands out) the rest of the characters really aren't strong enough to "carry" the film (especially the lead, who just spends most of the film practicing his "clueless" expression). While I've never been to Fire Island, I find it a bit hard to believe that in the modern era of cel phones a serial predator who drugs/mugs victims wouldn't eventually be identified. So, from the beginning there is quite a bit of suspension of disbelief to overcome (maybe if this were set in the 70's? Maybe that's actually when it was written? I dunno, but in the present it really doesn't work). There's a little skin, a little eye-candy, a little romance...but all in all it just comes off as a very well-edited and filmed low budget effort with little substance.

I wanted to like this movie but this low budget gay thriller fell flat! The writing is reprehensible. Guess it's too late to edit back the missing parts for an interesting movie.

Last Ferry succeeds in towing that fine line between perpetuating a gay stereotype and being a trite thriller.

And the ending happened. It just... happened. That's all. No resolution. No character growth. No impact. It's like the writer got bored with the script and simply decided to stop.

I was going to give the movie six stars, but then that stupid ending ruined it. So, four stars out of ten. And I think I'm being fairly generous.

I think people are being way too generous with this low budget gay thriller.

Neither suspenseful or particularly dramatic - the storyline was unfulfilling, it's like we came in at the middle and stayed there - no idea the reason behind the murder in the first place coupled with an unresolved ending

The actors weren't super engrossing, merely playing off gay stereotypes for the most part, right down to the predatory older gay guy in the cafe at the beginning.

The ending is NOT open to interpretation, it's a COP OUT!! Don't start making a movie unless you know how it ends otherwise how can you let your characters develop.

Disappointing !

Overall, not a bad film ... decent production values and acting was adequate. But do you want to ruin a film right from the get-go ... screw up the ending! That's exactly what the numbskull Writers and Director did with this film. The only reason it got 2 stars from me is what I just said in the previous 5 sentences ...otherwise, it would have gotten only 1 Star. Don't waste your time with this one ... it's not worth the total frustration you'll feel at the end. This Writer and/or Director ought to go back to film school ... they obviously didn't learn a thing about what makes a good movie!!
