I always enjoy a well-acted drama no matter what the central theme may be. Last Night is the story of Joanna Reed (Keira Knightley), a writer who works freelance and spends much of her time at home. Joanna is married to Michael (Sam Worthington) who works in a construction contract company and often goes out of town for business purposes. They live in a apartment in New York City and have a fairly normal relationship with the usual small arguments. After attending an office party Joanna notices that Michael spent much of the evening with a coworker, Laura. As expected the fireworks begin when they return home and she accuses him of having an affair with Laura. This is when the movie really begins because the next day Michael and Laura are off to Philadelphia for a business trip. Things become complicated the next day when Joanna runs into a former flame who only has one day remaining in the city. Let your imagination go to figure out what may or may not happen. I recommend Last Night as a good relationship movie that does not have a Hollywood ending.
