What to Know

Critics Consensus

Last Man Standing's brooding atmosphere and bursts of artfully arranged action prove intriguing yet ultimately insufficient substitutes for a consistently compelling story.

Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Mitchell Beaupre Paste Magazine An undeniable testament to Walter Hill’s mastery with an action sequence Rated: 7.5/10 Sep 29, 2023 Full Review Stefan Pape Common Sense Media With its hazy, sepia-tinged lens, and helped along by the film-noir style narration, this Prohibition-era action-packed crime drama has the look and feel of a classic.

Richard B Top action movie, watched 20+ times Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/02/25 Full Review Audience Member Story is pure copy of film a few dollars more but is has great action and modern atmosphere from begging of 20th century Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/25 Full Review Daniel C. M A highly americanized, neo-noir version of the classic cinematic tales told by masters Akira Kurosawa in Yojimbo and Sergio Leone in A Fistful Of Dollars, this time taking place in 1920s prohibition era Texas. This movie pumps up the action and lead to a crisp, which gets comical and very out of tone in some parts. The characterization of it's protagonist is confusing, as it's the story itself: for around the 25 minute mark, the plot becomes borderline incomprehensible and i could only get back at understanding what was happening around the 60-70 minute mark on this 100 minute movie. However, for as bad as the 2nd act is, the 1st and 3rd act make it up with awesome acting by Bruce Willis as the protagonist and Christopher Walken as his rival; enjoyable, worthwhile action, alongside great effects and production design that both aged really well. And nevertheless, the 2nd act, again, for as bad as it is, still is nowhere near boring, and, as they say: "I would have bad than boring". Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/23/24 Full Review Slepton C I actually love this movie, but I want it to qualify for our podcast by hitting 50% and then I'll change my score to the highest possible. This movie is amazing. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/24 Full Review Jelisije J A copy and paste plot of a Few Dollars More and mediocre acting from a cast that I expected more from. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/01/23 Full Review Marc Z This is a highly watchable Western-Gangster film with a stellar cast and a gritty feel. This film is adapted from an Akira Kurosawa film, and Directed by the great Walter Hill, so you know it's filled with action and violence. Bruce Willis makes the mistake, and life altering decision, to pass through a dangerous Texas town on his way to Mexico. He immediately becomes embroiled in a gang war between two rival factions, and focuses on saving a distressed young woman looking to escape from one of the gangs. This is one of Willis's best. He is calm, cool, and deadly as Smith. This actually got better with age. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
