Truth be told, "Fistful" is probably a truer model for "Last Man". And it isn't the first Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars starring Clint Eastwood from 1964 is also a remake of that classic Japanese flick. Just in case you didn't know, Last Man Standing is a remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1961 masterpiece Yojimbo.
LAST MAN STANDING BRUCE WILLIS MOVIE
This is a movie worth owning because you will watch it again and again.
William Sanderson as the inn-keeper are great.
Bruce Willis is excellent as usual and Christopher Walken is perfect as the sociopathic killer. I purchased the music as soon as I was able and listen to it often. the musical soundtrack by Ry Cooder is amazing and my favorite part of the movie. Dust, heat, colorless wasteland of both nature and the soul. The filming is done in such a way that you are immersed in the setting. The real star of this movie is the atmospherics and the cast. If you like that sort of thing, then this is a great, over the top example. Shooting, shooting and more shooting accompanied by the killing that results is the main action. "John Smith" rides into town, gets the idea that he can play them off of each other to make some money, but sympathy for the plight of three women interferes with his plans. Two rival booze profiteering gangs, one Italians and one Irish, both from urban Chicago, compete with each other for control of the "old west" town near the Mexican border that they operate out of. Doesn't sound too promising? Wait until you experience it. It's theme of redemption for the morally challenged "hero", "John Smith", performed by Bruce Willis saves it from being a mindless shoot 'em up. The characters are as if from a comic book, lacking complexity, and the dialogue is cliche. This movie does not take itself seriously. Part prohibition-era gangster movie and part spaghetti western, "Last Man Standing" is a film that is entertaining from beginning to end.
