Advantages: Very funny, Very thought provoking Disadvantages: none that I can think of
the rest of their life.
Thankfully, there is nothing too religious in this other than the fact its called the lastsupper and they all end up playing god. Oh and they have a preacher over for dinner....hmm....Ok so scrap that last bit.
A strange concept, but you've got to admit theres always someone we would quite like to erase from existance, be it murderers, leaders, celebrities, friends or enemies.
Obviously theres a lot of conflict within the group its self, some people get power crazy, others get scared, others get looked at with suspicion. It all adds up to a crazy situation thats fun to watch from the outside.
Certainly some amazing writing that makes you think beyond ha ha and gross. Who are we to decide what is good and what is bad?(he asks on ciao, oh the comedy)

Advantages: Raises interesting questions Disadvantages: No DVD extras
I really like films which have a political and philosophical bent to them, and especially those which provoke thought, and this film, LastSupper, sounded like something I would enjoy, and I wasn't disappointed.
