Last Man Standing

Jeff Wincott has for me at least, always stood out somewhat from the plethora of movie action stars of the late eighties and nineties such as, Van Damme, Seagal, Grunier, Wilson, Lundgren etc etc. on the very simple account that Wincott is actually a rather good actor when the material allows. Unfortunately, this film doesn't allow Wincott to flex his acting muscles however.....Oh dear I hear you cry. Bad news then? Well luckily, not really, as the action happens to more than make up for it. Yes, here we have a plot and character thin effort which despite said flaws nonetheless balances the scales with sheer entertainment value. It has to be said that the action sequences are very well staged throughout including multiple shootouts, some Michael Bay style freeway chases and of course, capitalising on Wincott's martial arts expertise, a few decent fight scenes to. As B-movies go, this is very much a high end production; Well worth checking out me recommends.

Jeff Wyncott years ago was a B movie action star and he used to deliver good and funny movies like Martial Law and so many others. In this case, with the classic style so remembered from the eighties (tough hero, threatening situation, duet with someone close, quick and painful punishment for the villains) we have a fast-moving film that offers various situations to delight the viewer. Wyncott should not try too hard with this material which does not have much depth but meets the first and most important premise of cinema: to entertain. It is a good film that can be seen by anyone nostalgic for the time when the heroes were really tough.

This film is actually pretty good. There is good chemistry between Wincott and Jonathan Banks, and it's certainly one of Joseph Merhi's best films. The stunts are excellent, half of the budget must have gone into that side of the production, including three great car chases, and a very big explosion halfway through the film.

It's a b-movie, but a very good one.

7 out of 10 stars for this effort.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! This has to be one of the worst movies I've seen in a very long time, and I've seen some stinkers. Lassie could have done a better job editing. Bellmore was taking his wife's glasses to her at work while she's wearing them? A pump shotgun that holds about 25 rounds. Not shells mind you, regular brass rounds. This was worse than some of the Shannon Tweed movies I've seen. I would recommend avoiding this at all costs, unless you want to see how a movie shouldn't be made. It was bad, awful, garbage. As a matter of fact, it was so bad, it inspired me to write this, my only movie review ever. On any site. You'd be better off watching old Miami Vice reruns.

... this BAD in 1995?

DO NOT WATCH this piece of nonsense. I'm asking because I was there and I can't remember seeing anything like this! Perhaps I was lucky, until now. I mean, we had Seven and Die Hard and Bond and HEAT and Just Cause and 12 Monkeys and THIS piece of trash has somehow managed 5.6 on IMDb??? You must be joking!

I repeat: DO NOT WATCH or waste you time, as I have just done ...
