The Last Son

Acting was on par. The script was all over the place and just weird . Could have been longer , more in depth . There's alot of wtf? And huhs? Then oh damns... Should have been a 3 hour western , especially if you're going to have chapters and characters that you need to build the story up. It was kinda like we only have money to make at 60 min movie ... I don't know the budget but if you get someone who can rewrite the script , use the same actors it could be way better . Gotta give this a 3/10 but could be 8/10.. wow . Deserves more attention. Higher budget, 3hours long and way better writers .

Sombre, grim and slow The Last Son drags itself to an inevitable ending like a terminal disease. There's never any doubt how this little slice of misery is going to end but despite only running for 92 minutes it seems a lot longer. The cast crawl through every scene as if on the verge of collapse through exhaustion. There is no light and dark here, only inky blackness made even deeper by the constant howling wind and jarring electronic soundtrack. It's all been done before and a lot better too, 2005's "The Proposition" springs to make mind. Track down that movie and give this one a miss.

Acting was good however, the script and the horrible editing gave this movie it's fatal blows.

What on earth was with the pointless and constant landscape views and mindless walking with no meaning.

Disappointed because the cast was a recipe for success.

Good movie slow at times but the story makes up for it. Lots of blood shoot outs killing. I thought a great old western movie for the new age. Sam Worthington is unrecognizable and amazing actor. Had some good WTF moments that I didn't see coming. Ending could have been 20 minutes longer to explain some things but still worth a watch.

The movie wasn't the worst I've seen but far from the best. The scenery was beautiful. I think the cast did the best they could with a lackluster script. Sam Worthington was excellent and I found Colson Baker to be excellent as well. Heather Graham fell short for me but it could be the role. I would have enjoyed a bit more character development and background about the prophecy. It is best described as a Greek tragedy set in the western genre. Too bad the full potential of the story and cast wasn't utilized. I still recommend watching it. It is only around 95 minutes.
