A review of 'Last Days' which brings Justin Lin back to the Sundance for first time in 23 years with a true story of 26 year old christian missionary
Lin, with his large canvas filmmaking experience has chosen not to make this just an inward character study, but also a surprisingly commercial adventure film that spans the globe, as Chau did, in search of excitement, as well as to find his true calling along the way. What is invented that wasn’t in the docu or the article, or any of his own writings, is the character of a female Indian police detective, Meena ( Radhika Apte) who against the wishes of her boss, Sonny ( Naveen Andrews) gets wind of Chau’s plans and sets out on a heart-stopping effort to prevent him from what she is convinced will be certain death for the young man.
