While awaiting the next fuel truck at a middle-of-nowhere Arizona rest stop, a traveling young knife salesman is thrust into a high-stakes hostage situation by the arrival of two similarly stranded bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty--or cold, hard steel--to protect their bloodstained, ill-begotten fortune.

Sergio Burstein

Los Angeles Times

In addition to obtaining outstanding performances from all his actors, the director demonstrates that he has extensive knowledge of the cinematographic language, and uses it to immerse us in its simple but ingenious story. [Full review in Spanish]

Claudia Puig

FilmWeek (LAist)

A quirky, indie Neo-noir Western with a dash of Coen Brothers and a sprinkle of Tarantino. Darkly funny, well acted, and cleverly written.

"Last Stop in Yuma County" is the kind of movie where you root for the worst to happen, because every escalation of misfortune makes things more entertaining.

Geek Vibes Nation

This film is at minimum an extremely fun ensemble piece that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat, but also gives the audience the chance to look in the mirror and ask what they might do in a situation such as this.

Rated: 8/10

A Pressure Cooker in the Desert! The Last Stop in Yuma County unfolds like a forgotten postcard from the American Southwest, faded, sun-stained, and quietly ominous. Set in a lonely roadside diner, the film observes violence creeping through stillness and stiffled whispers. A gas station out of fuel, a waitress with tired eyes, and strangers who stay longer than they should, these are the ingredients of this taut, slow-burn thriller. The film becomes especially memorable because of the psychological pressure that builds up inside the diner. Everyone is waiting, some for gas, some for coffee, some for something to snap, and when it does, karma plays out with methodical precision. Director Francis Galluppi is more interested in dread than drama. He stages the diner like a pressure cooker, where politeness is weaponized and silence feels like a countdown. The characters are stripped of backstories, which somehow makes them feel more real, people reduced to decisions, caught in a game where hesitation can be fatal. At its core, The Last Stop in Yuma County is about ordinary people tested under extraordinary pressure. It asks what breaks first under fear: morality, community, or self-preservation. The answers are never dull.

Brief character study without much depth, in the style of Coen Brothers and Tarantino. Lacks memorable dialogue and scenes.
