An unbelievably good film because it does the mock doc thing so well and is so believable. Full disclosure, I know the editor who gave me the DVD. Still, I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did, mostly because I'd never heard of it, and my review here is not colored by my friendship with Sam.
I'm not sure this qualifies as a spoiler or not but as near as I can tell, the film succeeds because it does something no mock doc has ever done before, which is to cast only a few parts and do the rest as documentary. It's not a plot point but it has a lot to do with what makes the film so believable and great.
Last Man Running is just plain funny and engaging. I can't see how or why it fell through the cracks. This kind of thing leaves me suspicious of the gatekeepers in the system.
