A bereaved father wants to know what happened to his son, even if that means going up against a multi-billion dollar company. His grief drives him to seek justice. His love drives him to defend lives and the private detective he consults, will stop at nothing to exploit the malicious underbelly of the company responsible for the loss. Peek behind the curtain shrouding the politics of the health industry in this noir-style film set in modern America. Inspired by true events, THE LAST SMILE examines a broken system filled with corruption and greed that underlies the unregulated health supplement industry. —Kadie Sutherland

Neo-noir thriller with Hindi Poetry

In The Last Smile, writer-director Shankey Srinivasan, demonstrates that he has the material and the skills to make the movie a thriller in the style of neo-noir detective films. But he wants more. He wants to convey not only an important message(risks with unregulated health supplement industry) - but wants to give the story a transcendental dimension. He succeeds in doing so by adding beautiful poetry in Hindi and surrealistic montage to his movie. It sounds like a strange marriage. A Neo-noir thriller and Hindi poetry? But it works. Where different cultures meet, unique things are born. This movie is one such example, born from the marriage of East and West. Well made indie film.
