The Last of Sheila

About This Movie

So, 'The Last of Sheila' is quite the intriguing mix of crime, drama, and mystery. Directed by Herbert Ross, it carries this rich tension throughout. It's essentially a whodunit on a lavish yacht, which creates this claustrophobic atmosphere, and the pacing keeps you guessing the whole time. The performances are solid—James Coburn and Dyan Cannon bring a certain flair to their roles, really adding to the ensemble's dynamic. The scavenger hunt setup is clever and the way the game unravels into something deadly just amps up the stakes. There's a bit of a satirical edge to the way it critiques the wealthy elite, which makes it distinctive. You can feel the practical effects and the writing has a sharp wit that sticks with you.
