Choices of temptation sneak their way into old loves, new loves and current loves. "Last Night" is a relationship drama where one night opens up questions and possibilities of infidelity for one married couple. The couple is Joanna (Keira Knightley) and Michael (Sam Worthington) and they are certainly beautiful and eye-catching but their relationship is not as well-defined as I think it should have been.
It follows a very simplistic storyline and it tests not only the main couple's loyalty to each other but also our loyalty to them as at least one of the temptations they face is far more interesting than either of them. I have fallen in love with French actor Guillaume Canet as the ex-boyfriend Alex. Looks aside, he was the only one who had any depth to make him more appealing. While some of the other casting, like Eva Mendes as the other woman, just seemed lazy.
I don't fault "Last Night" for picking a story that has been done before as they did try showing it in their own way. It was a beautifully realized film, performed well, and engaging enough, but it was just missing something. I think I liked it, but I needed more substance, more intrigue, and more of a resolution.
