Editorial Review:
Best known for making movies about men and violence, director Walter Hill scored a misfire with this ambitious but ultimately dreary remake of Akira Kurosawa's samurai classic Yojimbo. The story's essentially the same but the setting has been switched to a dusty, almost ghostly Texas town in the 1930s, where two rival Chicago gangs are locked in an uneasy truce. Bruce Willis plays the lone drifter who allies himself with both gangs to his own advantage, working both sides against each other according to his own hidden agenda. The violence escalates to a bloody climax, of course, with Christopher Walken, David Patrick Kelly, and Michael Imperioli as trigger-happy lieutenants in a lonely, desolate war. Fans of gangster movies will want to see this, and, if nothing else, Hill has brought his polished style to a vaguely mythic story. It's far from being a classic, however, and although its action is at times masterfully choreographed, the movie's humorless attitude is unexpectedly oppressive. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Unintentional Comedy Factor almost pushed this two stars...
This movie is absolutely terrible. However, it does have a great unintentional comedy factor that made it worth getting through at least once! I mainly picked this up because I tend to like a lot of Bruce Willis' action films, even if they are pretty cheesy at times. This one is probably the most ridiculous out of all the others I've witnessed so far. Sometimes movies can be awesomely bad and actually retain some re-watch value; unfortunately "Last Man Standing" didn't really have that quality ... Read More

Rating: - last man standing
Bruce Willis again delivers and excellent performance. Lots of action and excitement from beginning to the end. I think you would really enjoy this movie.
Rating:  - Hicky:"Maybe you're the type of guy that would shoot an unarmed man back?" Smith: "I've done worse than that."
Akira Kurosawa's classic film Yojimbo gets a face lift and remade in this 1930's mafia shoot'em up film with some heavy hitting actors to head it. Bruce Willis is the man with no name, simply put as "John Smith", Bruce Dern as the corrupt sheriff and Christopher Walken as the notorious psycho "Hicky". Two rival gangs battle it out for control of the booze trade between Mexico and the states, Smith passes through to stir things up, make some money and run. He makes a fast reputation for himself with ... Read More
Rating: - "1911 Heaven"
The acting is so-so, storyline's been done before, but if you're a fan of John Browning's classic 1911 semi auto pistol, this film is a must have for your collection.
While there are not as many shooting scenes as I would have liked, the one's that are shown are excellent. My favorite one takes place in the beginning of the movie when Willis squares off against a local goon who trashed his car earlier. The goon reaches for a wheelgun in his shoulder holster, but Willis beats him to ... Read More
