So, director and writer Massy Tadjedin in her movie, "Last Night", may be aiming to peek into the world of cheating maybe objectively. And her dialog is sometimes colorful, and rich in detail. She's created an interesting environment that in some scenes succeeds with building tension such as Knightley's character out on a "double-date" type dinner - maybe the best scene in the movie (with Griffin Dunne stealing the dialog in sage-like zen). Dunne's character seems to be the voice of the writer, perhaps, as he cautions his French friend about breaking marriages. However other times the writing and dialog bores with many of the scenes of Worthington and Mendes - with little attraction or chemistry seeming to register. Their infidelity is not as well developed or explained as Knightly's, perhapson purpose. I liked the movie on the whole. (spoiler) The ending is left nicely hanging, although anyone watching will know where it's headed. A decent watch (6.5/10)
