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. Go to Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness 06/25/2021
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.

Aun M @AunMohammad Nov 6 Last Train from Gun Hill is a masterclass in tension and a quintessential classic Western that is highly gripping from start to end. The film pits two screen legends, Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn, against each other in a raw and emotionally charged showdown. Their performances are outstanding, full of fire, pain, and dramatic power that holds you captive in every scene. This is classic action at its finest—driven by character, moral conflict, and a relentless plot. The sheer intensity and craft on display are a stark reminder of a bygone era of filmmaking, with a gravitas that has no match in today's Hollywood. See more Nick F Dec 30 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. See more Kevin B 02/02/2023 Lots of action Kirk, Anthony and Earl are marvelous. Fantastic movie See more 12/31/2022 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. See more 07/25/2021 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.
