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?

Liian "romanttinen" westerniksi. Rock Hudson oli ihan väärässä roolissa. Niin se vaan menee, joillakin on cowboy karismaa ja joillakin ei.

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

Rated: 3/4

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.

Rated: C-

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

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