Last Hours in Suburbia (2012)

The only thing good about this movie was the Walsh girl. I think she's great in Switched at birth and I want to see more of her. She's just too beautiful for words, of course that's obvious. I think she's a darned fine actress who is on the way up.In this movie, she plays a ghost. Being dead doesn't really seem to be a big problem for her character and that bothered me. I didn't think anything was funny about a life being ended like that. I really wish that in movies when characters are reacting to whatever a ghost is saying or doing that they would at least try not to appear crazy to others. Not a good idea to start boxing a ghost in public.Overall, the movie was boring, and I had to speed it along, which is probably why I was confused as to who actually caused the accident. It looks like there was more than one scenario.

I was initially intrigued by Last Hours in Suburbia because of the assumption that the audience would accept Malara Walsh as a spirit, when she appeared to be human in all ways. And the concept worked! Although we couldn't see through her, we somehow knew that she had passed from our world into another. The inclusion of the two male leads provided an excellent contrast between the dramatic struggles of the girls, to the more low-key responses of the boys. I was mesmerized by Steve Miller's ability to keep from over-acting. He reminded me of so many of the males in my life, who try to deal with stress by keeping emotions withheld, dealing without drama, "like a man". Miller was able to convey his confusion and his fear through his eyes, which I see as a sign of a true actor. Well done!

As a mother of teenagers, I really thought this movie was a wonderful way to point out the finality and unspeakable danger of drinking and driving from the point of view of the victim as well as the accused. It was poignant but still had light moments that kept the watcher intrigued and involved.My favorite actor in this movie was DEFINITELY Steven Miller, who portrayed PETE. He is extremely talented, and I hope to see much more of him in movies and on television. He would do very well in anything from soap operas to movies to sitcoms to dramas.Please put him in more of your movies.

I really enjoyed Last Hours in Suburbia. As an educator, it really showed taking responsibility for one's actions. The two lead young women were wonderful and totally credible. I loved watching the character, "Pete," (Steve Miller) go from this really cool "with it" guy, to a totally different person who was so lost to the world because of the tragedy that occurred. I'd really like to see more of this actor and all that he is capable of projecting on the screen. He seems to have much potential, especially in his last scene of confrontation. The movie is a good teaching tool for high schoolers and the reality of peer pressure and consequences.
