“The producers of u0026#39;Last Moment of Clarityu0026#39; must have been absolutely stoked when they managed to land Samara Weaving in their film. Sheu0026#39;s certainly a rising star and is getting some pretty good credits attached to her name. The problem they found themselves with though was that Weaving isnu0026#39;t really the star of the movie, or at least her character isnu0026#39;t. Instead the much lesser known Zach Avery is the star of the show and sadly he doesnu0026#39;t quite have the acting chops to do that just yet. The result is a bit of a wasted opportunity. You can see the potential the script had and why Weaving was enticed to sign on, but the actual final product is a messy shadow of what it couldu0026#39;ve been.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe first half of the film is a mystery, followed by the second half which is more a regulation thriller. If I had to pick which half I preferred more it was probably the first half. It at least had some curiosity behind it and had you wondering what tricks the film had up its sleeve. The second half, while not bad, does feel a little more run-of-the-mill and like youu0026#39;ve seen it a thousand times before.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film moved at a good click and I never really felt bored by it. There were a lot of technical flaws and if that sort of stuff bothers you then you might struggle a little with this film. If you are able to put that sort of stuff aside though and just enjoy the story for what it is then you might enjoy this one. Itu0026#39;s not a film I suspect Iu0026#39;ll remember, but while I was watching it it was a decent enough time.”
