Critic Reviews

Joey O'Bryan

From Lloyd Ahern's breathtaking, earth-toned cinematography to Freeman Davies' uncommonly graceful editing, Last Man Standing is a real class act, an old-fashioned thriller propelled by wildly violent, decidedly modern action sequences. Read full review

Stephen Hunter

The movie, in fact, is a lot like Willis' performance: impressive in an iconographic way, but really not nearly as much fun as it should be. It's like watching a spitting contest between totem poles. [20 Sep 1996]

Empire Adam Smith

The film's real strength is the way it sounds, with Ry Cooder's jangling score competing with thunderous gunplay for the shell-like's appreciative attention. Read full review

Desmond Ryan

Willis is always on target, but Last Man Standing is an aimless excuse for the kind of action at which Hill undeniably excels. [20 Sep 1996, p.03]

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

An apparently unintentional parody of the he-man school of filmmaking, in which gunfire replaces dialogue and escalating violence passes for story development. Read full review

David Stratton

Bruce Willis’ one-note performance and the monotonous plotting doom this New Line venture, despite the director’s typically virile staging of the numerous gun battles. Read full review

Steve Persall

Last Man Standing can't live up to its Japanese and Italian predecessors or even its title. [20 Sep 1996, p.5]

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bruce is spellbinding in this action thriller set in an old western like town. His drifter character is intriguing and every action scene is more impressive than the last. Also Chris Walken is one of the antagonists, a must see action movie.… Expand
