Justin Lin returns to indie filmmaking after a decade of big-screen stardom in the Fast & Furious franchise. His new film *Last Days* follows John Allen Chau, a young Asian-American convert who risked his life to spread Christianity on uncharted territory. Alongside Chau’s journey, Academy Award-nominated actress Radhika Apte stars as Meena, a police detective determined to stop him before it’s too late.
The film, produced by Justin Lin and featuring a stellar cast including Ken Leung and Toby Wallace, blends personal struggles with thrilling adventure. As the story unfolds, audiences are treated to both Chau’s faith-driven quest and Meena’s relentless pursuit, creating layers of tension and emotion.
Cinematography by Oliver Bokelberg and an impressive ensemble cast bring the characters to life, with Sky Yang portraying Chau with passion and Ken Leung delivering a career highlight as Patrick. The film also stars Marny Kennedy and Naveen Andrews in roles that deepen the narrative.
*Last Days* Premiers at Sundance Film Festival, with casting director Keanu Reeves among its executive producers. This innovative blend of tradition and modern storytelling highlights Lin’s ability to craft unique stories that resonate on multiple levels.
