El último disparo

OK, there are reviews of this movie here calling it the worst movie ever. I disagree. It actually wasn't bad. Not Bruce's best work but still entertaining. The inconsistencies were not glaring and if you even notice them you're looking for something to complain about.

Teaching a child to handle a gun: this is the part I had a problem with. A few minutes and saying "safety-safety-safety" doesn't do the job.

Okay, this was not one of Bruce Willis' shining moments ... forget the Nakatome Building, or whatever it was.

But, this is a decent movie. It was obviously a collaboration among a gaggle of movie and production companies, presumably so they could afford Willis.

No spoilers here, but the seemingly irrational behavior of the main character in the first half, will later seem rational based upon what's learned in the second half. I was glad I didn't doze off or let the WTF reaction stop me from making it to round two.

If they'd had any nuance at all in early character development, this would have a "great" movie. But, don't let all the negative press (esp Rotten Tomatoes) stop you from watching it. The sheer irony of round two is worth the watch.

I read the reviews and I wasn't expecting much, but I'm a fan of Hayden so I gave this movie a try. To be completely honest I enjoyed this! It was easy to watch, intense, suspenseful but also (surprisingly) heart warming! I'm no film critic, but I truly don't get all of the bad reviews. Is it the greatest movie ever? No. But was it enjoyable? Yes! I was engaged the entire time. Highly recommend giving this a try if you're in the mood for a thriller!

The kid is being bullied. Logically, his dad takes him on a hunting trip, spinning the various virtues of killing animals. It takes courage to hunt, the dad says, and what could be more courageous than shooting a deer from a distance with the telescopic rifle? He needs to learn to stand up to himself, the dad says, and apparently shooting animals is the best way to learn that, and to avoid being bullied.

The action sequences are OK. The movies does not suffer from excessive logic.

The film crafts a brilliant atmosphere and tension, Hayden is usually stamped all over by critics for his acting but here it feels genuine and real. He has a believable relationship with his child and while not he greatest film in the world it provides some brilliant entertainment and deserved better than it was given.
