gljacobs I'm not even a particular fan of westerns, but this movie -- I have watched a dozen times, and still enjoy it.Can't figure out what is so special about this movie, but it is a good one.Rourke's portrayal as Graff creates a strong love-hate connection with the viewer. You hate him and you love him. You relate to his pain.Dermot Mulroney's portrayal of Eustis ("Useless") an outlaw with some principles left -- and a sense of right and wrong -- was superb.All of the actors portrayal of their parts -- was right on. You can feel Keith David's (Lovecraft's) superstitious fear.What an excellent movie. From beginning to end, it keeps the viewer captivated.

merklekranz An interesting cast does their best, with some material borrowed from Peckinpaugh and Leone. We get the closeups, and the blood spurting slow motion, along with some genuine tension. Mickey Rourke's character is menacing in an almost mystical way. What is not so good is that one must suspend disbelief, when the posse makes Mickey Rourke their new leader, when men seem to take endless bloody gunshots with little effect, and the distracting, out of place use of four letter words. The scenery is stunning, camera work above average, along with some acceptable acting. I consider "The Last Outlaw" to be a slightly above average western. - MERK

sp3cies For a modern Western movie this is very decent, considering we're talking a TV movie here this is very much above average. I really have a hard time understanding why this movie's rating isn't much higher as 5,7. Sure, this is no 'Unforgiven' or 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly', but i don't think it pretends to be. This is just a fast-paced, violent action flick, which 'borrows' some elements from famous westerns and well, it works! I've seen this movie more then once, and it caught my full attention each and every time. As mentioned in a lot of these reviews Mickey Rourke is really great here. He's tough, he's mean, and he almost perfectly imitates Clint Eastwood's frown in close-ups. But the character I like most in this movie is Potts, played by Ted Levine. He's so dirty you can almost smell him, and he delivers some very cool lines. If you want to see a fun adventurous western movie i really recommend this one.

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).
