Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
The pace suddenly picks up and the pieces of the puzzle start falling into place for Bill and for the audience.
New York Post
Rating: 1/4 --
...this semi-interesting premise has been stretched incredibly thin over the course of close to two hours...

One of the slowest-moving films in a long, long, long while.

San Francisco Chronicle
Leary -- and the film itself -- keeps the audience off guard.
USA Today
Rating: 2/5 --
Final's redundant, stiff, colorless meetings between Bill and Ann are staged at such a leisurely pace that we're waiting for someone to shut them up and provide some real tension.
Film Threat
Emerges as engrossing and thought-provoking.
Dallas Morning News
A surprisingly effective, off-beat little movie.
Houston Chronicle
Product Description:
A solemn, quietly upsetting story about a man suffering from amnesia and paranoia who suspects he is part of a scientific government experiment in an apocalyptic near future, FINAL is a sad and moving unsolvable puzzle. Bill (Denis Leary) wakes up in a small room with a mind full of partial memories and a body suffering deteriorated motor skills. He gazes out the locked window at the Connecticut fall leaves, imagining that he sees his girlfriend, Sherry (Marin Hinkle) on the grass. Then she disappears, a mere illusion. A pretty nurse, Ann (Hope Davis), enters the high-security room, replacing Sherry's lost image, and begins psychological counseling, trying to help Bill remember what happened to him. But he is convinced that he knows what really happened--that he was in an accident, he was frozen in a cryogenic experiment, and now he is waiting to receive a final injection and be put to death. Though Ann listens to Bill and studies him as he jokes and shares memories about his mother, his father, and Sherry, his delusions make him nearly incapable of logical conversation. With a soulful blues-infused musical score, Leary and Davis deliver emotional, poetic performances, buttering up the audience for the revelatory final twist.
