The Last Manhunt (2022)

I was a little confused at first because I didn’t recognise the format or genre but gradually as the film played out I began to see it’s meaning.We have grown accustomed to many stereotypes in Westerns and I’m always looking for films that try to portray a more realistic narrative. There are some fairly decent performances in this film and the simple story is reasonably well told but of course some of the actors based their performances on fiction instead of reality which distracts from the overall experience. However this does tend to work in concept and I can see why it was tolerated. It’s not easy to develop character profiles without recognisable stereotypes but it would be possible with a good director and better script.Without a little artistic license this wouldn’t be much of a story and certainly not worth making a film of, there is one sentence in text at the beginning and another sentence at the end and that is what the whole film is based around.Not a blockbuster, more of a curiosity but worth watching in it’s own right.
