Saddled with a cliché-riddled script and terrible acting, The Last Outlaw is straight-to-cable Western
garbage.
It's difficult to watch for more than twenty minutes. The plot has nothing new to say, and I've seen better films
like The Wild Bunch and
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Mostly, what this
one has going for itself is a bunch of low-IQ guys killing each other.
Are the filmmakers telling me that a gang of die-hard Confederates okayed the idea of having a black cowboy on
board? Uh-uh, I don't think so. That's why the KKK came into prominence. I can't help but notice how pearly white
some of the characters' teeth are. So, Colgate toothpaste was aplenty at the time? On the other hand, the guys
brush off their gunshot wounds as if they got nicked while shaving.
Mickey Rourke plays a character who looks like he just had plastic surgery. Hey, wait a minute...it's exactly
what the actor did. Because of his heavy makeup, thin eyebrows and mustache, eyeliner but with no eyelashes,
and headband, Mickey Rourke can proceed to jam alongside Bret Michaels during Poison concerts.
All in all, The Last Outlaw is about people being picked off one by one, and I'm among them.
