Last Man Standing

So I don't normally like action movies, but Zach wanted to watch one, and so we searched Netflix's instantly available shtuff, and agreed upon Last Man Standing, because who can say no to Bruce Willis? It starts out with silly narrating from ol' Bruce, but it wasn't too bad for an action film. It felt like a western film noir, and had enough comical parts that I was able to get into it. Plus, it had sweet accents (NY and Mexican) and Christopher Walken, whom people usually seem to appreciate. The cinematography was actually kind of great, and I love the lighting. So maybe the script was slightly silly--I'm still not sure if that made me enjoy the movie more or less--but the shots, editing, and acting made up for it, anyway.
All in all, I'd say it was a decent watch, but not something I'd want to see again.

If you like Bruce, Christopher, Westerns, Film Noir, Action movies, alcohol*, fun accents, or garlic, I'd recommend you check it out.

*Although Last Man Standing takes place during prohibition that doesn't stop anyone in the film from regularly being seen with a drink in their hands.
