Nick F @RT48882955 Apr 15 With a cast that included Hollywood greats Charlton Heston and James Coburn, and with respected director Andrew McLaglen at the helm, The Last Hard Men promises to be a great Western. Made in 1976 when both lead actors were around 50 years old, the screenplay has Heston as a retired sheriff Sam Burgade, forced back into action when an old adversary, ruthless outlaw Zach Provo (Coburn) breaks out of jail, having been put there by Burgade 11 years earlier. Provo and his gang want revenge and start by kidnapping Burgade’s daughter (Barbara Hershey). What follows proves to be a very good Western with a gripping climax, but along the way there is too often much talking which slows down the pace of the film and diminishes the tension. Harder script editing would in my view have made this a great Western rather just a very good one!

Still it fills the time. See more 01/03/2014 140105: This is a very entertaining, but harsh, movie. Amazing actors and acting. All are a force but especially Hershey, Coburn, Wilcox, Quade and, shit, on and on and on. Great cinematography. Great locations. Don't think I'd ever seen it before, as in my youth. Can't believe I have missed out for nearly forty years. The slow motion to a rape scene, as well as James Coburn's evil nature, are hard to take. Actually, there are many scenes of extreme violence. Even by today's standards I found this film a bit nasty. Really enjoyed the finale. See more 09/08/2013 Kvalitetswestern av beste merke! See more 11/25/2012 Good western!
