Never having heard about this 2025 action movie titled "The Last Gunfight" as I stumbled upon it by sheer random luck. But of course I had to watch it, as I do believe in giving all movies a fair chance. I can't claim to be harboring the biggest of expectations to the movie, as the synopsis sounded like there wasn't a whole lot of fulfilling contents to the storyline. But still, I opted to watch the movie.
Writers Steven Paul and J. D. Zeik put together a pretty simplistic storyline. Sure, "The Last Gunfight" was watchable and entertaining enough for what it was, but this was by no means a Shakespearian moment in cinematic history. You just simply unhook your brain, get the snacks and lean back and watch the action on the screen.
The movie wasn't exactly crammed with an abundance of familiar faces, but there were a few, with the likes of Daniel Bernhardt, Jon Voight, Pancho Moler, Rade Serbedzija and Shaina West. The acting performances in the movie were fair.
"The Last Gunfight" actually had enough action sequences to make it all the more bearable to sit through the simplistic narrative.
Watchable for what was it, but hardly a movie that warrants more than just a single viewing.
My rating of director James Bamford's 2025 movie "The Last Gunfight" lands on a five out of ten stars.
