Product Description

Jack Dodds was a regular guy, so why the strange last order to have his ashes thrown off the pier at Margate? And why did his wife refuse to do it? As their Mercedes speeds towards the sea, an emotional mystery unfolds, where the men try to understand Jacks death by reliving their life through him...the war, the children, the good times and the bad. The journey becomes a pub crawl full of drink-ups and punch-ups and the men discover that through it all, its your friends that break your heart. and your friends that mend it.

Review

With Last Orders, Australian-born writer-director Fred Schepisi has done a fine job of bringing Graham Swift's Booker Prize-winning novel to the screen. Schepisi simplifies the book's complex structure a little (we get flashbacks within flashbacks, often switching time and place mid-way through a line of dialogue), but it's all handled so lucidly and sensitively that we're never left in any doubt as to when and where we are. The setting is Peckham, South London. Jack, a butcher, has recently died of cancer, leaving instructions that his ashes should be scattered off Margate Pier. Three of his oldest friends and drinking companions, Ray, Lenny and Vic, plus Jack's son Vince, meet at their local pub to carry out his wishes. Jack's widow, Amy, doesn't join them; she has an errand of her own to attend to. During the day's drive to the sea, memories and associations crowd in on each of them, reflections on love and fate and death in richly layered profusion. Schepisi has assembled a cast of British cinema's most seasoned professionals: Michael Caine, Tom Courtenay, Bob Hoskins, David Hemmings, Helen Mirren and Ray Winstone. The location settings--South London and Kent--exude authenticity, with Brian Tufano's widescreen photography adding dignity. For Schepisi this is a personal project, and he's clearly in love with his material. Just occasionally the film skirts sentimentality, but it's pulled back from the edge by its humour, honesty and commitment to wry, downbeat realism. On the DVD Last Orders arrives on DVD in a clean anamorphic 16:9 transfer with Dolby 5.1 sound. There's a good range of extras: interviews and filmographies for all six principals plus the director; a "making of" featurette (everyone genuinely seems to be having a great time); written production notes; and not just the theatrical trailer, but a "trailer evolution video" showing alternative versions, plus ditto for the film's publicity poster. -- --Philip Kemp

Follows Book Storyline

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 January 2014

Verified Purchase

I recently read the book form of this story without initially realising that a film had been made of it. Once I did and realised the great cast that it had decided to give it a go. Personally I felt that it was a little gem.
The story closely follows the plot storyline of the book which is either a good or bad thing depending on your taste and despite the somewhat gloomy nature of the story it was told in a quite light and at times humorous way with little flashbacks helping to give it a little depth. Personally I felt that it might have been better with a slightly younger cast as it is easier to make an actor older than it is younger (the image of Bob Hoskins with a rug on his head was quite amusing) but other than that minor quibble I found it highly enjoyable.

Simple, heart warming, light hearted

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2021

Verified Purchase

If you like British films, this one is an easy uncomplicated look at the last will of a dying man and the comradeship of his friends to carry out his final wish on his death. Popular actors play out this heart warming film, shot on location in London and Canterbury and Margate. A simple plot, but a very poinient film.

EastEnders for the big screen

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 June 2019

Verified Purchase

Great reviews for this film but not from me. I found it depressing and rather predictable. The acting is competent but no better than that and for the actors who came from the East End such as Ray Winstone and Michael Caine they're just playing themselves pre-stardom. I don't like the assumed syndrome that all working class people are basically miserable, skint with multiple skeletons in the closet but get through it with the help of the local boozer. I'm working class and fortunately do not share those characteristics (although I do like a drink and I needed one after this film).
It's true that society used to hide things away more than it does today - as this film illustrates - but I think we all know that and why not keep it for the realm of documentaries? Surely films should be more about entertainment? Perhaps other people's misery is entertainment for some - hence the success of EastEnders. But not for me. I wrote this review as a warning to anyone who shares my feelings. Save yourself a couple of quid and get down the pub for a pint!

Last Orders, First Class

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 August 2002

Verified Purchase

I laughed. I wept.
'Last Orders' radiates, warmly, all that is good, & some of what's not so good, in our species. At the ending I felt so much like asking, 'More, please?' But there isn't more than what the producer, writer, crew, cast, & we of the audience bring to 'Last Orders'. This is more than a film: it's a reverent monument to people everywhere.
I shall watch 'Last Orders' again and again and again, and hope there will be some such lovely friends who will weep, and then smile, as they fling my ashes into the sea.

... but just wanted to give a mention to the excellent soundtrack that most of the other reviewers have overlooked ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2016

Verified Purchase

Wholeheartedly concur with the other favourable reviews here but just wanted to give a mention to the excellent soundtrack that most of the other reviewers have overlooked in their reviews. It is a wonderfully atmospheric and appropriate soundtrack composed by the Australian pianist Paul Grabowsky and performed by some of the finest of the current generation of UK jazz musicians. For me the soundtrack begged for comparison with that to 'Sideways' (another of my favourite films). Jazz seems to be particularly suited to films dealing with age-related rights of passage and what 'Sideways' perhaps did for middle-age 'Last Orders' does for later life, bringing out humour, sometimes gallows humour, amongst the pathos.

Cheers! to old mates!!

Reviewed in the United States on 1 March 2015

Verified Purchase

This stellar ensemble cast under the directorship of Fred Shepisi hits the metaphorical jackpot in this story of long-time mates disposing of one of their own's ashes. Warmth, humanity, humor et al. permeate the atmosphere of this realistic, yet sensitive story.

To me, Mr. Hoskins' role stands out just a tad from the rest, as he is, in no small part, the main facilitator in this film: he always seems to be in the right place at the proper time, especially at the track! Although not in the boys' club of disposing of the ashes, Helen Mirren's role here is more subtle and indirect, yet crucial as the deceased's (Michael Caine) wife who opts not to go along with the boys for the final ride. Her understated yet forceful portrayal here is one of her finer pieces of work, especially noted in her scenes with her mentally challenged daughter. M. Caine is his usual cad self, somewhat like an aged "Alfie" who likes his bantering with the birds at the pub (and at the hospital!), but unlike "Alfie", he won't make plays for them! The rest of the group of the boys carrying out the "Last Orders" provide more than ample thespian talent, not only in their individual roles, but also in how each relates to the group as a whole. The cast of the "flashback" scenes of yore does equally well in laying out the dramatic foundation for the modern day sequences.

Some say the total is greater than the sum of the individual parts, especially when dealing with the synergy of talents and overall heart as manifested in this production. It's all about heart, baby, and there's plenty here to go around. Cheers!

Ordered and sent from Medimops but after an Email from them to say it had been returned, I phoned them to say we had never received it. It seems it was returned by the customs to Medimops and payment has been returned to us. No fault of yours or Medimops but i'm still searching for the DVD.

Reviewed in the United States on 28 June 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a very British film, genteel even in its most raucous scenes. It is a story about friendship, kinship, and the trials and tribulations of common people. Even as he lay dying in a hospital bed, Jack was anxious to find £20,000 for his wife Amy. He hand £1,000 to his friend 'Lucky' Ray to bet on a horse, hoping that that would be the way. It was. But where did Jack get that £1,000 from? And what other relationships lay hidden beneath the warm exterior? Ray, Vic, Lenny, and Jack's son, Vince embarked on a journey by car to Margate to toss Jack's ashes into the sea. Why Margate? Jack and Amy had fond memories of it. The film gently rolls backwards and forwards, emphasising the depth of friendship that can only grow old and firm with time, time that had run out on Jack, and which everyone else tries to preserve through their own recollections of the development of that friendship. A lovely story, a well-made film - it could be about anyone of us.
