Bill (Denis Leary) wakes up in an institution. He is told by his doctor, Ann (Hope Davis), that he is only there for observation. He can leave whenever he makes the decision to accept reality.

Bill (Denis Leary) wakes up in a hospital mental ward - he's delusional, voicing fears about being cryogenically frozen for a medical experiment and counting down to the "final" injection that will kill him in 48 hours. His doctor, Anne...read the complete Final (2001) review at The Movie Chicks

Actually this was well acted all around. But Dennis really proved himself here.
Better then his role in Lake Boat and I really liked that. I have both these films in my library now.
A word of caution to most of you. There is no action in this film. 80% ...

What a nice jewel in the dirt that i've found. Watching late night HBO television ...

It is low budget, and borderline "sci-fi". BUT, it's also got an incredible story, excellent acting and intangible qualities that may make you want to cry in the end. With that said, it's not a chick-flick either (it's just that, I think I'm in ...

Leary's, Davis's and Scott's best work, bar none. The screenwriter, Bruce McIntosh, also did a brilliant job. I've seen Leary miscast in so many films that it was wonderful finally seeing him in one that showed all facets of his talent. He should not ...

I didn't really know what to expect from this movie, as I hadn't read much of the reviews. The beginning is kind of slow and boring, but one feels intrigued to see what is going to happen. It is an interesting movie, although a bit sad. The 4 stars are ...

After discovering Denis Leary's awesome acting in Rescue Me, i decided i should try and find a few more.
I was pleasantly surprised with Final. Where other films have been completely panned, this one, thought the same might be critically said, i thought ...

What at first looks to be a relatively standard drama of a patient in a mental institution turns out to be something far removed from that in this intriguing science fiction film. And make no mistake, this IS science fiction. Once the basic premise is ...

Cheap production,weird story, good atmosphere and two competent actorsin a film wich should last no more than 70 minutes. A man who wakes up in a strange place not knowingwho and where he is surely is a cliche, but here the cliche becomes ...

Maybe I was mislead by some of the raving reviews here, but after watching the movie I was somewhat disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I don't need the typical Hollywood "FX loaded but no story" kind of movies to feel entertained. But this one was a bit ...
