MCT:July 3, 2008"Last Man Standing" (1996)
I'm a big fan of Bruce Willis. I know, it's a fatal weakness of mine. I tend to like all of his movies, including the really, really, really bad ones. "Last Man Standing" might fit that description, but I still enjoyed this movie very much, and watch it often.
Based on the Story by Akira and Ryuzo Kurosawa and his samurai movie "Yojimbo", and later re-made with Clint Eastwood in "A Fistful of Dollars", which is set in the old West. "Last Man Standing" takes place during prohibition.
Bruce Willis is the nameless drifter/gunslinger-for-hire, John Smith from back East, who stops over in this West Texas town of Jerico on his way to Mexico. He finds that the town is run by two competing boot-leggers. Seeing an opportunity, he sets out to pit one against the other.
The movie's screenplay was written, as well as directed by Walter Hill, and I love the southern psychedelic slide-guitar work soundtrack of Ry Cooder. It has a great look about it too. It's well photographed.
The action sequences are fantastic. I love the John Woo style, of Smith's two-fisted 45's blazing in the many gun battles, and the endless supply of bullets. Christopher Walken is at his evil best as one of the big guns from one of the gangs. I also enjoyed the old-fashioned narration. -
MCT:June 10, 2008I enjoyed this movie a great deal! I liked the die hard movies. I would say in my opinion this is one of Mr. Willis's best.

Decent western, kinda cheesy though..with some bad performances which take away from the seriousness of the plot. The writing could have been a lot better, Bruce Willlis makes the film though playing one tough bastard. Christopher Walken was good too.

Better than what you might expect. It's a semi remake to Fistful of Dollars that takes place in 1930's rather than the old west. Bruce Willis does a good enough job as the main character.

Last Man Standing is an all out action western, the action is OTT the gunfights OTT but that is what is called for, it's got a story and its a good one which works well and gives you more than just the braindead action. Bruce Willis in a role made for him is backed up by a strong supporting cast who have to take a back seat to Willis, would have been nice to see more of Walken's character though.
