| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Last Man Standing |
|---|
Bruce Willis stars as a drifting gun fighter in Prohibition-era Texas. The town is essentially abandoned save for rival Irish and Italian gangs and an ineffectual sheriff. John Smith (Willis) is able to play both sides for profit and actually learn something about honor in the process. This is a violent, fast-paced film with lots of gun play.
--Alex Emborsky, Resident Scholar
