An interesting premise, with civil law vs. tribal law, and a culture clash so imbedded in a society that it lingers even in the soul (?) of an otherwise unassuming lawyer. However, The Last Wave bogs down in a muddled narrative and loses itself in dark dream/chase scenes that come too late to salvage a story that moves at the rate of molasses. I like Weir, and I can see plenty of Weir-ness here, but this movie taxed my patience.
