Last Night - 2011 ***



'Last Night' is one of those annoying films where if you have particular morals or views on infidelity it will irritate you no end.

Keira Knightley was probably the best thing about the film, as Sam Worthington's acting was utterly wooden and dull, and Eva Mendes' face is the wrong shape.

Knightley and Worthington play a married couple who so far seem to be enjoying married life. But he has to go off with work overnight with a colleague whom he has admitted to being attracted to, leaving Knightley alone. She then happens to bump into her old flame Alex (who she never really got over) who offers to take her out for dinner, and both Knightley and Worthington have that night to decide whether to resist or surrender to the temptation in front of them. (No prizes for guessing what they both do).

This film is realistic to a degree, but it also poses the typical adage that no one can resist temptation if they are handed it on a plate which I don't happen to agree with. Worth a watch.
