Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
... View MoreThis is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
... View MoreAlthough I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
... View MoreThe film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
... View MoreThe Last Cowboy tells a story with a predictable plot we've seen many times, but still find interesting. A large landowner with property held by a family for years is now in jeopardy, sought after by greedy bankers, financiers, and other bad guys who plan stealing and subdividing the valuable land to make an ill-gained fortune. The family patriarch has recently died, and it's up to the remaining family members to "save the farm." Two required components of any good movie are the screenplay (the script writers' product) and the acting/direction (the actors and their director). Both are successful in this movie. The screenplay and dialogue are very good and believable, and the actors (this movie has a bunch of exceptional actors) do a very good job executing their roles under some excellent directing.This is an excellent movie to watch with your children. Although the main female character is unmarried but has a child (and she is initially estranged from her father), parents watching along with their children will have an easy time explaining the situation because the female leading character is so "at ease." This movie does a great job showing different family arrangements and interactions, and even young children will understand and not be disturbed.
... View MoreA great film about how the relationship between daughter and father were poor and when the daughter of Jake comes home at mother's death ..On how to solve the problem of the legacy you see how hard her father worked to get the farm to pay off .. Even the foreman on the farm helping with mediation and how all three struggling and Jake finally find a solution to the problem ..A deep interesting film that does not fall into the usual mundane pattern .... A masterpiece without Jennie Garth fantastic acting had been hard to get it to fit so perfectly ..I really hope you make an effort to se this fantastic Movie..
... View MoreThey may be better looking than most ranchers but the story is what rings the bell sweet and true. Even if it never happens quite like this except in the movies, it is still worth watching and believing that it is possible to have work that one loves and save it with an idea and with love, love of the family, love of friends and love of the land. I loved this movie and everyone associated it with it. I especially love Lance Henriksen, who proves that a man can keep his charm for a very, very long time. Great fun to watch and enjoy. This is worth a thousand "rom-com" movies that fall flatter than the proverbial pancake. It may be more of a rom-life but I'll take it any day. Love the feeling it gives and the love that it shares.
... View MoreI watched the TV movie The Last Cowboy with very few expectations and ended up unimpressed.It is the usual stressful father/daughter relationship who find out that the need to come together through the tough circumstances, including the loss of his wife and her mother and the possible loss of his farm. Lance Henriksen (The Right Stuff, Millennium) and 90210 alum Jennie Garth play the bickering father and daughter. They do as good a job as the material given to them.The actor who really impressed me was M.C. Gainey. Playing the farm foreman and friend of Henriksen's character and a middleman between the father and daughter, it was nice to see Gainey in a role where he is basically a nice guy. Because of his physical presence, he typically plays gruff, villainous rednecks, bikers or criminals. Sometimes they are all the same character. His appearances in movies like Con Air and Breakdown and his role in "The Last Cowboy" shows that Gainey can play different types of roles and do it well when casting directors give him a chance.
