Directorial misgivings aside, The Last Sunset offers all the thrills and chills of an Aldrich action film.

C-

There are too many things wrong with the film. A kidnapping scene in the latter portion shows the director has no sense of suspense - it looks like a Keystone Cops movie.

A sloppy, impersonal Western sporting one truly bizarre plot twist.

Forget about Freudian Westerns - this one owes more to Leopold von Sacher-Masoch.

A lyrical offbeat Western filled with Sirkian melodrama.

I'm a true Western movie lover and I watched this one for the first time. It had me glued to my seat, the storyline was very good and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Not an epic but very worthwhile cowboy movie. Kirk Douglas and Rock Hudson are great, and Dorothy Malone is stunning as well as a wonderful actress.

It was pretty good but dated. Watch if you're feeling nostalgic or if there's nothing else on.

Interesting off beat Western, featuring a nuanced performance by Douglas. He's a mystery that unfolds. Is he good, is he a psychopath?
