3/5
Mossman’s score and the filtered, painterly cinematography by David Gallego are by some distance the film’s most interesting features; the rest of the drama is in fact a slog, full of ponderous long takes and somewhat tinny dialogue. Go to Full Review

For a tale that's the classically heavy stuff of Greek tragedy, The Last Son offers woefully little suspense or momentum. Go to Full Review

Worthington has been inconsistent in the past, but he's solid in a role that emphasizes his physical presence while only calling on him to speak when absolutely necessary. Go to Full Review

3/5

The Last Son is a one-and-done viewing experience even for the hardcore western fan. Go to Full Review

2/5
Tim Sutton has taken Greg Johnson’s simple, yet interesting premise and produced a slow-burning, grim and gritty film that barely scratches the surface of its potential. Go to Full Review
