Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review Millie W They set in Ireland instead of England low budget dodgy acting would not have liked to have paid at the cinema to watch but ok for free on t.v Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Tanvir A Incredibly moving depiction of heartbreak and loyalty through the eyes of Artie. Brosnan delivers a cinematic tour de force which hits all the right notes. The supporting cast all leave a lasting impression for their short screen time especially Jurgen Pronchnow with the infamous Das Boot reference thrown in for good measure A story of love, sacrifice and compromise paced very well. The veteran who wants to say goodbye to his friend and comrade one last time will rest in the hearts of all who watch this gem. Keep your hanky ready, you'll need it for this ride Don't look for the imperfections, we've become used to that cynicism in our daily lives. Enjoy this with your loved ones. The bagpipe finale is a beautiful celebration of a great life that's coming to an end as all things must come to pass…….thank God for the magic of cinema and the rich tapestry of emotions captured Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/11/24 Full Review Wayne K The Last Rifleman is a shameless heartstring tugger, a story tailormade to extract every last tear from its audience. It's for this reason that I didn't feel too strongly about it, since it was so frequently and obviously trying to make me feel emotional that I almost subconsciously rebelled against the idea. That's not to say it's a bad film, just a fairly rote and predictable one. The main thing to recommend it is Pierce Brosnan's performance. Not only does he believably talk like a 90+ year old man, he also moves like one. One of the most glaring problems with Martin's Scorsese's The Irishman is that a de-aged DeNiro looked like a young man, but his kicks and punches didn't reflect this. Here, Brosnan stands, walks, talks, sits down and even thinks like someone at the tail end of their existence, and it means you buys into his character much more. It's an enjoyable enough story, but it doesn't say anything about war, PTSD or sacrifice that other films haven't said already. It plays things so safe as to be largely redundant, but I can't deny that it has a very affable charm. If that's the kind of thing you're after, by all means give it a watch. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/11/24 Full Review Laurie S A beautiful and touching film, well written and poignant, and in my view probably Brosnan's finest moment in acting. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review Elsabe B What an emotional journey , Pierce Brosnan is exceptional in his role. I was weeping at the end.
