Reviews for Last Man Standing
Wry, cold and confident, Willis squints and blasts his way through the film, a blazing pistol in each hand.
Walter Hill's Last Man Standing is an overlooked action masterpiece that perfectly blends the Western and the gangster film.
For all the gunplay and assorted violence, there is nothing between the action scenes to engage the audience.
The slow-moving story is as dry as the desert wind that blows through Jericho.
This movie is a time-filler, something you can have on in the background while you're doing something else, and can glance at whenever the shooting starts.
