By the Sea, By the Sea, By the Beautiful Sea.

Jack Dodds (Michael Caine), a former soldier and now a butcher, dies, leaving “Last Orders” for his friends to take his ashes to the sea. On the way, they all remember their interactions with Jack and then some. This sort of film has been made before. Yet if you like this formula, then it is a fairly well-produced movie. It is mostly a series of flashbacks requiring two different sets of actors to cover the span of years. Much of the film is from a mock Mercedes with a rear projection screen. We do see some popular locations as backdrops to the story. I was not that intrigued by Jack's history. However, there are quite a few well-known actors who make this watchable. Based on a Graham Swift novel, “Last Orders,” this would have been made into a better play than a movie. It makes a good movie to watch on a drizzly day.
