Leslie Felperin Guardian 08/02/2022
3/5
Mossman’s score and the filtered, painterly cinematography by David Gallego are by some distance the film’s most interesting features; the rest of the drama is in fact a slog, full of ponderous long takes and somewhat tinny dialogue. Go to Full Review

2/4
For a tale that's the classically heavy stuff of Greek tragedy, The Last Son offers woefully little suspense or momentum. Go to Full Review
Michael Nordine Variety 12/09/2021
Worthington has been inconsistent in the past, but he's solid in a role that emphasizes his physical presence while only calling on him to speak when absolutely necessary. Go to Full Review

The Last Son is a one-and-done viewing experience even for the hardcore western fan. Go to Full Review
John Townsend Starburst 08/09/2022
2/5
Tim Sutton has taken Greg Johnson’s simple, yet interesting premise and produced a slow-burning, grim and gritty film that barely scratches the surface of its potential. Go to Full Review

It can be viewed as a high-concept Western, but with a scenario that's darker than most Westerns. Go to Full Review

Peter 12/17/2021 A little different than what I expected but good nonetheless. See more Ian S Jul 21 Odd western. Some nice visuals and the music was different but the story was lacking and most of the characters were puppets and one dimensional. See more Aubrey B 11/11/2024 Four stars only for Alex Meraz as Patty. This is the only reason why I kept watching. Machine Gun Kelly in a western doesn’t make any sense because I know that man is dating Megan fox and doesn’t have a cowboy/western enough fav to make him believable in this era See more Kayleigh G 02/09/2024 I like that the last son likes animals…he kills people. But dude loved nature and animals. Not too much gore. The music behind it is neat. Lots of bass. The story is good enough… it doesn't deserve as low as a score as it got. See more gwhiteye 11/19/2023 Half way decent acting... a story that could have made better sense if told with a few more details, but overall pretty bad. See more Kandy A 10/25/2023 This film lacks an understandable story line. An idea which does not deliver. Best thing about it is a quality cast and they deliver. Worst thing about it is a WTF experience at the end. See more Read all reviews
