This movie is a time-filler, something you can have on in the background while you're doing something else, and can glance at whenever the shooting starts.

Walter Hill's Last Man Standing is an overlooked action masterpiece that perfectly blends the Western and the gangster film.

Wry, cold and confident, Willis squints and blasts his way through the film, a blazing pistol in each hand.

Willis does good work in this dusty Western Yojimbo.

The slow-moving story is as dry as the desert wind that blows through Jericho.

For all the gunplay and assorted violence, there is nothing between the action scenes to engage the audience.

In the translation from samurai to western, however, something is lost, resulting in a film that is top-heavy with 'overkill' and eventually tedious to sit through.
