If you met Adolph Hitler when he was just a struggling cartoonist, wouldn't you have done the world a big favor by murdering him?

Critic Reviews

  • Rita Kempley, Washington Post

    This sour, repetitive fare fails to feed our hunger for either laughter or enlightenment. It's all empty calories and reactionary chic.

  • Desson Thomson, Washington Post

    As the body count gets higher, and the housemates begin to question their high-and-mighty purposes, the movie stumbles under its sophomoric moral weight.

  • Emanuel Levy, Variety

    This low-budgeter that "came out of nowhere" is a fresh, pungent tale about Right and Left--and Right and Left--in contempo American politics, well-acted by a gifted ensmeble, including the young Cameron Diaz.

  • Geoff Andrew, Time Out

    It falls apart, but the cool cast and caustic script will leave most right-thinking people well satisfied.

  • Janet Maslin, New York Times

    The Last Supper shows some darkly effective visual style, but it has none of the wit needed to save such a story from lumbering obviousness and sophomoric political debate.

    Tense and scary black comedy, with a really good message. Well done.

    Black comedy about students discussing current affairs with dinner guests, which leads to murder. Good cast, sees a young Cameron Diaz. Good plot and ending.

  • Anthony L


    A fun black comedy where no Religious or political view is safe.

  • Curtis L


    Pretty fun poke at political extremists. Short, and the movie doesn't really go anywhere but at the table, but it was fun for a lazy monday night.
