mergatroid-1 I like Bill Cobbs. I have enjoyed him in everything I have seen him in and have no doubt about his acting skills whatsoever.In this movie he plays a country doctor who stumbles on an ancient document that tells how some monks who made a monastery in the middle of nowhere were assisted by drinking this herbal concoction every day. Over the years the Doctor manages to perfect the liquid until he can use it to improve his strength and that of his sick wife. Unfortunately it is not a fountain of youth but merely keeps him healthy and unusually strong for a man of any age.Two young men just graduating from Med school come to town. One of them used to live in the town and goes to visit the doctor, bringing his friend. They learn of the doctors discovery and try and take it for themselves.This could have been a great movie but the pacing was so slow I had to fast forward through some parts because I was getting bored. If they had of increased the pace, and maybe improved the ending it could have been a very good movie.

filmarena1 I started to watch this movie due to reaction of my customers :-(. And I totally agree with them, it is a very bad movie, it could have been so much better. Bill Cobbs is really great but cannot rescue the movie. Alex Feldman is everything but good in this movie. You just do not get the story because the film is not finished. It builds up very nicely, but I still do not get it why the doctor while drinking beer starts to bleed more and more (suicide?. Why is his wife so mean and knows everything? even when she is locked up only in her bedroom?)And then suddenly she is lying in a hospital under Alex Feldman's bed? What happened in the burning house how did Alex Feldman get out? Why not his friend? And it ended fast and like cheap slasher movie.

thespy8 I don't know what movie the other reviewers were watching, but they must be associated with the production or are family members of one of them to write that type of review. This movie is boring and predictable. The plot, if there is one, is full of holes. This movie looks like a project a failing cinematography student may put out. Warning, I saw this movie under the title: One Step Closer. One can only imagine why the creators are trying to distribute it under a different name... As a side note, this site is here for guidance in helping us pick movies to watch. I cannot understand why it is becoming more and more a vehicle for some people to mislead the general public. I think IMDb should be aware of this!!!

sonadow The Final Patient (Released as 'One Step Closer' in the UK) is a truly engrossing film and you will find yourself mesmerised by the storyline. I've watched several films like this and have always worked out quite early on how the film will end, but surprisingly The Final Patient will have you confused throughout. The movie has only around 10 actors and most of it revolves around Dr. Daniel Green's house and it's inhabitants. The only let down in my opinion was the ending, I feel as if this was rushed and wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. But other than that, superb acting by Cobbs and I definitely suggest you rent this out.
