This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This movie can rightly be called a top western film.The Red Indian wife of a Marshall is raped and murdered and the main culprit is the son of a land baron. Almost single handedly the Marshall attempts to bring in the baddie(s) and is up against powerful forces and a mob.So can justice be done?Excellent locations, and the dusty salon loving town and its folk plus a magnificent steam engine more or less steal the show. I had the benefit of renting this film and watching it on my Tablet. Great viewing as the picture quality is first rate.Superstars take all the main roles and do not disappoint!8/10

In the Wild West, Kirk Douglas is a man whose wife is raped and killed by the son of a local big man. He vows to bring the young man to justice. His father is an old friend. Holed up in a hotel, Douglas asks the girlfriend of the widower for a shotgun, although he has no need for it as he has a handgun already. This plot device is used purely to create dramatic tension between the three. A goon of the big man sets fire to his hotel, even though Douglas has to leave anyway to catch the only train out that day.This is largely a run of the mill Western except for the early scenes, which don't really add any more than the nuanced plot in earlier Westerns would have done. It's all surface and uncomplicated, which won't bother the typical Western fan, or the lack of plot sense.

See it – A man with high ideals stands alone in a town that's sitting around, waiting for him to get killed. We've seen this premise before with movies like "High Noon" and "3:10 to Yuma." But each one has a unique plot in its own right, and the similarities that exist are the vital basics that make a western great. In this western masterpiece, Kirk Douglas plays a sheriff who seeks vengeance against the men who murdered his wife. When he tracks them down, he discovers that one of them is his best friend's son. His friend, played beautifully by Anthony Quinn, owns the town and will do everything in his power to make sure Douglas doesn't get on the last train from Gun Hill.

Marshal Matt Morgan's Native American wife is raped and murdered.Two drunken cowboys are behind the deed.Matt seeks for revenge.He finds out the other cowboy is the son of his old friend, Craig Belden.Last Train from Gun Hill (1959) is directed by John Sturges and produced by Hal B. Wallis.There is a great cast in this movie, starting with Kirk Douglas as Matt Morgan.This terrific actor turns 95 today, which is a very respectable age.I congratulate the man, who has done many, many roles in his career.Anthony Quinn makes a great co-star to Kirk, playing Craig Belden.Earl Hollimann makes a great villain as the son Rick.Brian G. Hutton is the other bad guy Lee Smithers, and he's very good.Carolyn Jones is superb in the female lead, playing Linda.Also brief but memorable performance by Viva Rodann, who plays Mrs. Catherine Morgan.This is an underrated western, which shouldn't be the case.There is some memorable stuff in this movie, like the sequence where Matt holds Rick as the prisoner at the hotel.And then escapes the flames.I enjoyed the scene with a lighter tone, where Matt tells the kids about the time he faced some crooks.Don't overlook this western with Kirk Douglas.
