" Last Man Standing is a 1996 American action film written and directed by Walter Hill and starring Bruce Willis, Christopher Walken, and Bruce Dern. It is a credited remake of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo. Directed by Walter Hill, Bruce Willis plays a gun for hir, caught up in a battle between two rival gangs. It was both a critical failure, and financial failure, all though some thought it was a average enough movie, just not nearly enough to garner any real interest. Willis is John Smith, a my"

"23.3. 2020 "Last Man Standing", more like "Last Man Awake". Bruce Willis plays a lonely gunman who arrives at the abandonded Texas town during the prohibition era. Willis is also the narrator and he sounds like he is half asleep most of the time. I wouldn't blame him because any viewer who wants some excitement is going to be at least half asleep when they are watching this awful and pointless film. "Last Man Standing" is full of weird stuff. It looks like a western but it is set in the late "

"Walter Hill's reworking of Yojimbo (and A Fistful of Dollars) moves the story to a desert land in Texas where two gangs of booze runners try to run the territory until stranger Bruce Willis arrives and starts playing the gangs against each other in order to make some money. Hill's version has the violence and the slow motion and yet the pacing is a lot slower and the film drags in places. Willis tries his best to Clint Eastwood but comes short and the finale is a little too ordinary."

Movies Of 2017 (193 movies items)

"Gunfight scenes are pretty damn cool looking. You can smell the gunpowder and feel the recoil. Seen this couple of times and still entertains me. Walter Hill can surely make good flicks. Familiar Yojimbo story which we have seen few times for now in different adaptations. Willis has that constant squint on his face, which we have also seen in many of his movies."

Moviewatcher122's 2016 Film Diary: April (28 movies items)

"April 10 "My fear is my curse. What's yours?" "I was born without a conscience." This is a pretty underrated movie and it is a very good re-telling of Yojimbo. Just like A Fistful of Dollars it takes the original story and gives it a different setting with the aforementioned film taking place in the west instead of ancient Japan and this one taking place in the Prohibition Era. It's a very gripping story that had me on the edge of my seat despite being familiar with this story and Bruce Will"
