“Last Call” Offbeat Story Stars Jeremy Piven

Directed by Paolo Pilladi, Last Call follows Mick, played by Jeremy Piven, a successful story and estate developer. He returns home to his offbeat blue-collar Irish neighborhood in the shadows of Philadelphia, Darby Heights, for his mother’s funeral and must stay to ensure his parents’ ailing family business gets back on course.

Amidst all of this, he grows closer to his childhood crush, played by Taryn Manning, who is also back in town, while enduring the constant ridicule from his old hometown crew.

Mick reconnects with the neighborhood where he grew up, and he finds himself at the crossroads when forced to raze or resurrect the family bar.  He needs to decide whether to develop a casino near gentrification or keep the tradition of neighborhood bars. If Mick pushes the casino through, it will destroy Darby Heights.

Unfortunately, the movie falls flat despite an impressive cast that includes Bruce Dern, Cathy Moriarty and Jamie Kennedy.
