3/5

Mossman’s score and the filtered, painterly cinematography by David Gallego are by some distance the film’s most interesting features; the rest of the drama is in fact a slog, full of ponderous long takes and somewhat tinny dialogue.

For a tale that's the classically heavy stuff of Greek tragedy, The Last Son offers woefully little suspense or momentum.

Worthington has been inconsistent in the past, but he's solid in a role that emphasizes his physical presence while only calling on him to speak when absolutely necessary.

3/5

The performances are great and the film impresses on a technical level, its menacing score and the widescreen compositions of wintry landscapes both having impact.

The Last Son is a one-and-done viewing experience even for the hardcore western fan.

Tim Sutton has taken Greg Johnson’s simple, yet interesting premise and produced a slow-burning, grim and gritty film that barely scratches the surface of its potential.

A little different than what I expected but good nonetheless.

Odd western. Some nice visuals and the music was different but the story was lacking and most of the characters were puppets and one dimensional.

Four stars only for Alex Meraz as Patty. This is the only reason why I kept watching. Machine Gun Kelly in a western doesn’t make any sense because I know that man is dating Megan fox and doesn’t have a cowboy/western enough fav to make him believable in this era

Half way decent acting... a story that could have made better sense if told with a few more details, but overall pretty bad.

This film lacks an understandable story line. An idea which does not deliver. Best thing about it is a quality cast and they deliver. Worst thing about it is a WTF experience at the end.
