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 (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

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.

Rated: 3/4

Film Frenzy

Ensemble pieces such as this run the risk of employing their characters as nothing more than pawns to be shuffled through the proceedings, but Galluppi and his well-chosen cast do a fine job of not only making these people believable but also interesting.

Rated: 3/4

Just when you think you know where it’s going, Galluppi pulls the rug out from under you, and he does it with panache as well, cinematographer Mac Fisken showcasing the cast and location with various camera angles and techniques...one crafty little indie.

Rated: B+

A pretty straightforward and minimalist thriller about who ends up with the money. I liked it but it is just okay.

The Last Stop in Yuma County is an impressively staged and tightly written thriller. It was a film that had me engrossed through out. This impressive film is set in one location, a gas station in Yuma County, Arizona in the 1970s. The central character is a knife salesman who stops for gas but is informed that the pumps are dry and a refueling truck is not far away. He waits in the nearby diner run by Charlotte. They hear of a nearby bank robbery by two men in a green Pinto. When the Pinto arrives at the gas staion you can imagine the situation becomes very tense. It escalates as other people visit the diner and the situation grows in tension. For a small film it's all handled very impressively. The writing is super tight and you are never sure where things will end up. The cast are excellent with Jim Cummings and Jocelin Donahue especially good. This film is excellent in many ways. One that I enjoyed quite a lot.
