Editorial Review:

Product Description:
In a town with no justice there is only one law every man for himself. When pervasive bottlegging chokes the life out of a small texas town john smith decides to cash in on the action. He cleverly hires himself out to each gang and betrays both sides to destroy the bottleggers and rescue the town. Studio: New Line Home Video Release Date: 11/11/2008 Starring: Bruce Willis Bruce Dern Run time: 101 minutes Rating: R Director: Walter Hill

Amazon.com:
Best known for making movies about men and violence, director Walter Hill scored a misfire with this ambitious but ultimately dreary remake of Akira Kurosawa's samurai classic Yojimbo. The story's essentially the same but the setting has been switched to a dusty, almost ghostly Texas town in the 1930s, where two rival Chicago gangs are locked in an uneasy truce. Bruce Willis plays the lone drifter who allies himself with both gangs to his own advantage, working both sides against each other according to his own hidden agenda. The violence escalates to a bloody climax, of course, with Christopher Walken, David Patrick Kelly, and Michael Imperioli as trigger-happy lieutenants in a lonely, desolate war. Fans of gangster movies will want to see this, and, if nothing else, Hill has brought his polished style to a vaguely mythic story. It's far from being a classic, however, and although its action is at times masterfully choreographed, the movie's humorless attitude is unexpectedly oppressive. --Jeff Shannon




Rating: - Underrated Near-Classic "Western Noir"
I don't really get some of the criticism of this movie. Yeah, the story is derivative...but no more so than other "classic" Westerns such as "Fistful of Dollars" et al. When the Amazon editorial review calls this film "dreary", "humorless" and "oppressive"...I honestly have to wonder if I'm watching the same flick. Willis plays his amoral protagonist with the perfect blend of cool and ennui, and Walken is awesome as the bad guy's No. 2. Pan it if you must, but I would put the replay value of ... Read More

Rating: - A good movie for tough guys or tough women.
Sometimes the law doesn't work, so who better to get the wheels moving then a hired gun who operates on all sides.

Rating: - Awful...
ugly & boring. Snoozed most of the way through. Dern & Sanderson good as always. Willis was always a cardboard Mickey Rourke anyway.

Rating: - The Baxters and the Rojos are Back
This is a remake of Fistful of Dollars. Bruce Willis plays Clint Eastwood in a reimagining of the classic now set Prohibition's gangster era. It's still a lonely town on the Border with two warring factions in uneasy truce when the loner walks in, or in this case drives, to upset everything.

Rating: - Unintentional Comedy Factor almost pushed this two stars...
This movie is absolutely terrible. However, it does have a great unintentional comedy factor that made it worth getting through at least once! I mainly picked this up because I tend to like a lot of Bruce Willis' action films, even if they are pretty cheesy at times. This one is probably the most ridiculous out of all the others I've witnessed so far. Sometimes movies can be awesomely bad and actually retain some re-watch value; unfortunately "Last Man Standing" didn't really have that quality ... Read More
