Blurb from Netflix: A group of very different individuals with different ideas of how to face the end come together as the world is expected to end in six hours at the turn of the century.

I found this movie very difficult to get into. It felt like
the first half hour of the movie was just people talking about nothing.
Last Night is an apocalypse movie… but you don’t actually really get exposed to that until the middle.

Since the movie came out in 1998 I can only imagine that it
was inspired by the supposed looming 'apocalypse' in 2000 – though the
movie never really said WHAT was bringing the world to the end. (My guess would
be the sun exploding, but that’s just me.)
You get to see – through this movie – what a group of different people have decided to do with their last six hours on earth. The rules have changed and there’s no right or wrong anymore.

As you can guess, there is a lot of sex (shown and implied), a lot of pillaging, and pretty much everything else an apocalypse might trigger in humanity.
It’s… ok. Not much more or less just… ok. Just on the border of imaginative.
