Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

NateWatchesCoolMovies The Last Outlaw is a revenge themed western written by Eric Red, and if you're at all familiar with his other works (he also penned The Hitcher and Near Dark), you'll have some idea of how bloody and intense it is. It's a smile story populated by hard bitten, gruff sons of bitches, and the violence comes fast and hard from all directions as soon as a few backs are stabbed, and several ravenous tempers ignited. Often in westerns the violence is clipped and minimal, the damage which a six gun does to flesh oddly shirked in favour of theatricality. This one has no use for that, and messily displays exactly what such a weapon does to people, repeatedly and with no discretion. It's rough, gritty, Walter Hill style stuff, with not a trace of levity, smash or buckle, and every character kicking up dirt and anger the whole time. The film opens with a daring bank robbery, executed by former civil war Colonel Graff (Mickey Rourke), and his brutal gang. Their victory turns sour when mutiny looms among them in the form of Graff's second in command, Eustos (Dermot Mulroney). He can't abide by Graff's sadistic methods, and bitterly betrays him. The rest is a bullet ridden cat and mouse game in the dusty deserts and shanty towns of the southwest, as the bodies pile up and the blood spatters in the dirt time and time again. Rourke is an implosive, grade A dickhead as Graff, a man less concerned with the fruits of his labor and more driven by the desire to exact violent retribution. One wonders if that's what he's in the game for anyway, to bide his time until something goes amiss, and the revel in the carnage. The supporting cast is just epic, with work from Steve Buscemi, Ted Levine, Paul Ben Victor, Richard Fancy, John C. McGinley and Keith David. It's essentially one big stylish bloodbath, a pulpy ride through the gutter of arrogant machismo. Terrific fun, if that's your thing.

FightingWesterner Crazed ex-Confederate Micky Rourke is shot in the back by his own men and left for dead. Captured by the posse sent to hunt him down, he assists them in the pursuit of the men who double-crossed him. He soon manipulates the situation until he's firmly in charge (!) and proceeds to exact brutal vengeance on his old gang.The Last Outlaw is made exciting and memorable by an odd, amusing performance by Rourke, who looks almost feminine with his pencil-thin eyebrows, along with loads of familiar character actors, including Dermot Mulroney, Ted Levine, John C. McGinley, Keith David and a nasty little script by Eric Red (The Hitcher).This is definitely worth checking out. However, if you're turned off by bloody violence, this might not be your cup of tea. The scene where Steve Buscemi bites it, might be the goriest gunshot in western film history!One flaw: jet exhaust can be clearly spotted in the sky in one scene.

caspian1978 "Gee? Which way should we go?" "How many bullets did you say we had?" "Lets stop again since we are being chased." Yes, I am making fun of this movie. Why might you ask? For the simple reason that this film was far from being serious. Ok, we are never fully introduced to the 7 men in the gang to begin with. We get a small intro to some of the men but we never understand not are we identified with who they are. With that, it makes it hard to feel anything for these make believe "cowboys". Then, the plot of the story is one dragged on chase scene that has no ending. Watching this film, you search for an reason what so ever when you ask yourself why they are doing what they end up doing. The biggest question is why the law didn't kill Graff once they came upon the men at the hill? They kept Graff alive for the main reason of finding the men. Oh no, instead they keep him alive for no reason except to have him tag along. that makes tons of sense. Then again, the rest of the film had no major point. I feel bad since the only good acting in the movie came from Steve Buscemi and he is the first one to get it by Graff. Long story short, leave this one on the video shelf for the next sucker to come along.

gazineo-1 Competent but otherwise not so original western about a bunch of outlaws who made a great assault and afterward started to struggle between themselves for the money. Violent and taut script goes on well and Rourke, as the sadistic but brave chief of the bandits, looking for revenge, gives a solid and convincing performance. A good option for western fans, especially those who liked spaghetti western because this movie has some elements of the genre and resembles some Italian entries, like, for instance, "Black Jack" and "Django" (the first of the series, with Franco Nero in the title role). I give this a 6 (six).
