Last Ferry succeeds in towing that fine line between perpetuating a gay stereotype and being a trite thriller.

And the ending happened. It just... happened. That's all. No resolution. No character growth. No impact. It's like the writer got bored with the script and simply decided to stop.

I was going to give the movie six stars, but then that stupid ending ruined it. So, four stars out of ten. And I think I'm being fairly generous.

The genre of "gay thriller" has definitely been evolving to the point that once in awhile, there are films that exceed expectations. "Last Ferry" is not one of them. While there are some decent performances (Sheldon Best stands out) the rest of the characters really aren't strong enough to "carry" the film (especially the lead, who just spends most of the film practicing his "clueless" expression). While I've never been to Fire Island, I find it a bit hard to believe that in the modern era of cel phones a serial predator who drugs/mugs victims wouldn't eventually be identified. So, from the beginning there is quite a bit of suspension of disbelief to overcome (maybe if this were set in the 70's? Maybe that's actually when it was written? I dunno, but in the present it really doesn't work). There's a little skin, a little eye-candy, a little romance...but all in all it just comes off as a very well-edited and filmed low budget effort with little substance.
