The Last Stop in Yuma County is a MUST SEE | Movie Review

The Last Stop in Yuma County is officially out now, and this is my 2024 movie review. While stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop, a traveling salesman is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune. This one is a must see.

This is my The Last Stop in Yuma County Movie Revew

[beau__]

This movie definitely gave me Coen Bros vibes with a hint of Tarantino. Entertaining from start to finish.

This director is confirmed to helm an Evil Dead film as Raimi and Campell want to use Evil Dead as a jump off point for up and coming filmmakers which is so cool and after this I'm definitely excited to see what he does with Evil Dead!

AUSTIN I am SO happy you decided to talk about this movie. I absolutely loved this film, it will for sure be one of the finest hidden gems of 2024... though I also had some issues with the ending as well. Thank you for giving it the spotlight, it deserves to be seen. 😊

Saw this movie last week & I enjoyed every minute of it. Easily one of my favorite movies of 2024 so far.

This is one of the best films I’ve seen in years. It was truly flawless. Great writing, acting, direction, cinematography. A clever story and the pacing was fantastic.

[Balleatomique]

Jocelin Donahue and The Frontier are the reasons why I saw that flick. And oh boy, what a great first movie! I'll definitively keep an eye on next Francis Galluppi's projects.
And yes yes of course, Jocelyn is stellar in it 😍! #FanBoy

Already saw it. Has a nice breaking bad/tarrantino type of vibe. Great movie. Easy to follow, great characters, makes great tension, and very unpredictable. Great little movie

[SolarAdrift]

went out and saw this today based on your recommendation. so much fun

[dmcboston]

Haven't heard of this, but your review makes me want to seek it out! Thanks for reviewing independent movies as well as the blockbusters!

[Themoomabides]

Loved it! Totally early Tarantino and Coen vibes. Third act is pure nihilism. But in the most organized way.

[TheCircleCreativeMedia]

I loved this film too, really liked Hell or High Water and I enjoyed Mob Land too. No Country For Old Men is one of my favourites of all time. There's something about these modern westerns, set in these dustbowl towns that I can't get enough of. Any suggestions for similar films?

Slowburn masterpiece.The director keeps you waiting but it pays off big time.

[foreverdrift]

Cheers for the recommendation, Austin. Am watching this tomorrow - right after Die Hard! Merry Christmas!

[CD-bnel]

Thank u so much love when u review a good movie no one has heard of. Will watch this weekend.

[DCBEE]

Loved this movie. Really well made, really well acted. 1 of those movies that takes you for a ride from start to finish and not super predictable.

[paradisecityable]

This would be a nice double feature with 3:10 to Yuma

[MrJbee]

This was A GREAT movie with a good message

[GizmoBeach]

I watched this because of Jim Cummings’ involvement; love the first two films he directed, and he had something to do w/ The Beta Test although mostly he was just the lead.

This is a quirky comic-crime caper; so many show up at that diner in the middle of nowhere, which I found a bit implausible (especially considering *two* pairs of criminals intersect) but oh well.

The best part for me was the realization I’d forgotten about the vehicle shown at the very beginning; when shown at the end, now it’s clear why the man they’re all waiting for continues being late.

I also appreciate the realism of those getting shot; too often we see movies where people are hit three, four, ten times with little effect, vs. real life where a single slug (as struck Charlotte) would blast their insides to pieces, killing them from catastrophic internal bleeding. 😣

Well good to know I am sharing a review with Austin. I think he knows Cody.
My review
Background - A duo of robbers escaping with the loot are forced to stop at a diner as the gas station is waiting for refilling trucks to arrive. But soon they are exposed and trapped as more and more people enter the diner.
Likes - Well I liked the premise of this movie. Its a interesting set up and the theme is solid. The cast do their bit. Its not a known cast but certainly the perform well. Also technically the movie is well made. It has the look and feel of an A movie.
Dislikes - I am not sure this movie really utilized its premise well or at all. There is a similar movie like this Your Lucky Day. Which questions the morality of people when they see easy money in front of them. This movie has a similar idea but whereas that movie really played out that idea to its fullest even if it lacked the production values and the drama to be a memorable movie, Last Stop at Yuma really struggles to put the idea into motion. There is a really long set up which ends abruptly. And there is a following part where an attempt is made to add some substance to the plot but that appears heavily contrived. In short, this movie never really gets going even if had a set up. A different approach was required to really utilize its premise and ask the questions of morality which was the idea of this movie.
Final Thoughts - Last Stop at Yuma County just lacks the depth or drama to utilize its premise or explore its main theme. I give this a 5. Its an attempt but not quite a success. The other movie, Your Luck Day did a better job even if lacked the finesse and production values.

Doesn’t the knife salesman looks like Ty Burrell from modern family???
