Review of L'ultimo pistolero

From the clichéd portrayl of Franco Nero's gunman, I wasn't really sure what to expect as the outcome of this film - a twist, yes, but not a satisfying one. There's a good score from Ennio Morricone - but it is far from his great works such as Once Upon A Time In The West or The Untouchables. Overall then, the film tries too hard to be 'cool' and in the spirit of the old-style westerns of Sergio Leone. It fails. It may only be a short film but, unfortunately, it's not a very good one.

2/5
