Review of Last Man Standing (1995) by Trevor C — 11 Feb 2013
Bruce Willis is the Last Man Standing in the American remake of the Kurosawa classic Yojimbo. The story follows a gun for hire who decides to take advantage of a bootlegging war between two rival gangs in the border town of Jericho.
Done in the noir genre, the writing is fairly interesting and has a very stylized motif. Additionally, the cast includes some interesting supporting actors such as Christopher Walken, Bruce Dern, and Leslie Mann.
And while the characters are mostly stereotypes, the action is quite impressive. Last Man Standing has a number of flaws, but the gratuitous violence and artistic directing keeps the film engaging.
