Tessa Thompson and Michael Shannon Join Mads Mikkelsen in Death Row Drama ‘Last Meals’ From Ramin Bahrani (EXCLUSIVE) As the film industry continues to churn out formulaic blockbusters, Ramin Bahrani's "Last Meals" stands out as a refreshing departure from the norm.
This death row drama, starring Mads Mikkelsen as Walter Karat, a former White House chef turned prison cook, has just added two heavyweight actors to its ensemble: Tessa Thompson and Michael Shannon.
On paper, "Last Meals" may seem like a standard issue prison drama, but scratch beneath the surface and you'll find a rich exploration of guilt, reconciliation, and justice.
