Last Night (US, 2010)

Manhattan pad dwellers Joanna (Keira Knightley) and her husband of 3 years Michael (Sam Worthington) argue over his eyeing up of an associate Laura (Eva Mendes) at a party. It just so happens that Michael and Laura are both flying out of town on business, but what little interest exists here is in the meetings of Joanna (Keira Knightley) and her French ex Alex (Guillaume Canet), both writers of course, who, raking over their past, wonder what if...

The miscast Sam Worthington's pairing with Knightley produces no spark; equally worthy of relegation to the subplot is Eva Mendes.

It's a sincere yet superficial effort which will probably resonate more with a younger, yuppie audience.
