Last Man Standing description 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 |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | "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 the draw pulling out his two 1911's from the double shoulder rig he's wearing, and proceeds to let fly with several rounds of .45ACP that slam into the bad guy like a sledgehammer, lifting him off his feet and out the door of the building, AWESOME !!!. An added bonus of the movie is the appearance of one of my favorite actors Christopher Walken, watch him wield the Thompson smg; sheer magic! |
