Christopher Lloyd The Film Yap This largely forgotten Western is out in a splendid Blu-ray restoration featuring Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn as aging frontier relics whose hidebound ways lead to their inevitable confrontation. Rated: 4/5 Jul 12, 2021 Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness Described as an adult western, the 95-minute tale is not for the faint of heart as it immediately gets to the plot without sparing a second, enabling the drama to develop a rolling boil as tensions build straight to the final moments of the film. Jun 25, 2021 Full Review Allison Rose FlickDirect Last Train from Gun Hill is a good, old-fashioned, classic Western with an excellent cast and an interesting story. Rated: 4.5/5 Jun 23, 2021 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Reunites many of the key players from Gunfight at the O.K. Corral but is more similar in tale and tone to 3:10 to Yuma. Rated: 3/4 Jun 19, 2021 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies John Sturges certainly delivers the goods in Last Train from Gun Hill and the VistaVision presentation is outstanding on screen. Jun 15, 2021 Full Review Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine Unless free westerns on TV have eliminated too many of the customers, this solid big-screen opus ought to prosper.

Nick F Last Train To Gun Hill is a true classic Western with a taut storyline and fine acting from Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn, both on top form. Douglas is a marshal seeking the man who killed his wife, and the killer happens to be the son of the marshal's old friend, a wealthy rancher powerfully portrayed by Quinn. The tension mounts unrelentingly as an inevitable showdown looms. The tight camerawork, pared-down script and sharp directing all combine to bring this Western to a pulse-raising finale and hallmarks it as a truly outstanding example of the genre. Reviewed by NICK FLETCHER. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Kevin B Lots of action Kirk, Anthony and Earl are marvelous. Fantastic movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Overall, like a stick of lit dynamite, this film is a blast that goes off with a bang.  I was highly engaged and entertained by this unpredictable story.  Leading performances from Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn were strong, convincing and likeable.  The pacing is enjoyable, as is the storyline, and there are many moments of solid suspense like a ticking clock.  Audiences will be excited to witness this western revenge tale. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Audience Member The western like they used to make them. Kirk being Kirk and Quinn being Quinn. Great location shooting and a good study in morals and folks that have character. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member BS, R3.3 カークダグラスいい感じ，マイケルに大分似てる Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member The film is a surprisingly dark adult western that has one of the most disturbing rape scenes in cinema regardless of era.. in 1959! Kirk Douglas, one of my favorite actors ever, plays the role with unwavering fierceness. Anthony Quinn matches him and they keep the stakes high throughout. This one has elements of many other westerns like 3:10 to Yuma, The Big Country, etc. but the Technicolor cinematography and strong performances take a pretty familiar story and keep it mildly entertaining. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
