Radio personality Russ Parr delves into screenwriting and film directing with The Last Stand.
It’s basically the story of four African Americans striving for success
as performers in Los Angeles. The film opens with Reggie Sinclair (Guy
Torry) having a dispute with his father because Reggie chooses to leave
for L.A. to pursue an entertainment career. Reggie’s father wants him
to join the family real estate business. The issues dealt with in the
film range from exploitation to deceit in relationships and alcoholism
and drug abuse. Parr isn’t without talent, but he has a penchant for
portraying black people in sordid situations. Unfortunately, the film
features numerous unintelligent-sounding characters speaking
unintelligent dialogue and an overuse of editing tricks. – forrest green III
