Last Man Standing is just Another awesome Bruce Willis action film

Pure action, Adrenaline, excitement, oh... and Bruce Willis.

Part prohibition-era gangster movie and part spaghetti western, "Last Man Standing" is a film that is entertaining from beginning to end. This movie does not take itself seriously. The characters are as if from a comic book, lacking complexity, and the dialogue is cliche. 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. Doesn't sound too promising? Wait until you experience it. 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. "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. Shooting, shooting and more shooting accompanied by the killing that results is the main action. If you like that sort of thing, then this is a great, over the top example.
The real star of this movie is the atmospherics and the cast. The filming is done in such a way that you are immersed in the setting. Dust, heat, colorless wasteland of both nature and the soul. the musical soundtrack by Ry Cooder is amazing and my favorite part of the movie. I purchased the music as soon as I was able and listen to it often. One of my favorite soundtracks ever. Bruce Willis is excellent as usual and Christopher Walken is perfect as the sociopathic killer. Bruce Dern as the corrupt Sheriff and
William Sanderson as the inn-keeper are great. This is a movie worth owning because you will watch it again and again.

Although the gunfighting action can get a little redundant at times, the setting makes this an interesting twist on the roaring twenties gangster movie. Two mafia factions slugging it out in the old west, very cool. Christopher Walken is menacing and stylish. Bruce Willis is great, playing his quiet tough guy role (similar to Sin City's Hardigan). Overall, I give it a thumbs up and find myself watching it again and again and it grows on me each time.

You kind of place yourself in the actor's place,doing things you would like to do in your life but can't. A person can't do all those things in a life time. I just love that kind of action.

This movie is blunt: it's like a video game where the objective is for Bruce Willis to be the "Last Man Standing". Comparative to the likes of "Replacement Killers", "Last Man Standing" doesn't try for anything fancy. It's here to stack up the bodies and have fun while doing it. Christopher Walken as the eccentric, nutso mob boss who's out for Willis' hide is truly memorable. A must have for action fans.

Seller provided the product I wanted in new and perfect condition and at an excellent price. I enjoyed a trouble free transaction and immediate shipping. It doesn't get any better than that.

We looked for this movie everywhee. I finally thought to look on ebay and here it is. The picture quality was great and we are happy with the fast responce to our order. Thank you for all your help.

And he's not afraid to use it.
Can't pass on this classic.
Christopher Walken ROCKS in his own crazy way.

GREAT MOVIE............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

This is definitely one of Bruce Willis' best movies. Set in a small Texas town full of mafia gangsters all fighting amongst each other while Bruce plays both sides against each other. Check it out.

The prices and availability is awesome. I recommend everyone to own a copy in their library and watch.

,,I love movies with a plot..and a story..Bruce Willis is fantastic in this film..If you get a chance to watch it..dont pass it up..I bought it to add to my collection..TV is so full of commercials now,it makes me totaly SICK!!I can barely get through the news,with there pretty boys,and Ex female Swedish Volleyball players,that can't talk without a cue card..watching a good movie is the only entertainment I really enjoy..well there is one other thing..

Just in case you didn't know, Last Man Standing is a remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1961 masterpiece Yojimbo. 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. Truth be told, "Fistful" is probably a truer model for "Last Man". Masterfully written and directed by Walter Hill (The Warriors, 48 Hrs., et al), the story is well suited for the 1930s prohibition-era setting in which it has been placed... Quite a jump from feudal Japan to the Old West and then Prohibition-era America... But it all comes together nicely... Bruce Willis comes through with the challenge to fill the shoes of, not only an American icon in Clint Eastwood, but the Japanese icon of Toshiro Mifune (Red Beard, The Bushido Blade) as well... Christopher Walken is great as always as is David Patrick Kelley who, unfortunately, this movie watcher hasn't seen much of outside Dreamscape and "Twin Peaks"... All in all, I would say that this movie is well worth the time to buy, ship and watch... 8/10...

this movie was perfectly as ordered. the seller was honest; prompt and the price was right. i used ebay recently to order other things and found the same to be true about that order also.

Bruce Willis is a great actor and this movie shows what he can if he the center piece of the movie. There is little plot and a super thin storyline, but it is what it is. This is a fun shot em up movie. It is perfect for a saturday night.

A hard to find item at a fair price. The service was fast, other than I was completely satisfied, I don't have a awful lot to say about this purchase. Thanks lnbowditch
