Storyline
Shattered windshields. Twisted wreckage. Last Exit is an action-suspense drama that tells the parallel stories of two ordinary women - one, a single mother barely supporting her handicapped son, and the other, a working mom precariously balancing her family with a high-pressure career - on one extraordinary day. Each woman's life frays under the weight of her circumstances and spirals out of control. As police officers race to save them, pieces of a shattered puzzle fall into place - maybe this wasn't just a tragic car accident after all. Both women fight for their lives, but ultimately, only one will survive Written by

On the road... Beware the rage within.
This film is excellent in its portrayal of two women who simply have, at first a bad day, which becomes increasingly worse, then tragic.
Kathleen Robertson is very sympathetic as a young legal secretary, her job on the line, as well as custody of her disabled son.
By contrast, Andrea Roth has a a high powered advertising career, is beautiful, and seems to have it all. She does have her candidacy for a promotion on the line, which is jeopardized after her car is towed. She is the breadwinner for a family of three, and finds she is pregnant at age 40.
There is a surprise ending to this story, and it is all the more tragic as it is based on a true story. In a stressful situation, it is not the situation but our reaction to it. Recommended. 8/10.
