A man roves the vastity of a deserted industrial plant ready to grasp his gun. Hat, boots, belt, the last pistolero is going to face the hardest of challenges...

It seems as if it all fits: Italian western starring Franco Nero, music by Ennio Morricone and a good atmospheric setting with a lonesome fighter. Too bad this 8-minute movie does not make a whole lot of all this and instead shows us what happens when our hero simply has no enemies anymore to go up against. Was that a symbolism of western being dead? I hope not as it certainly is not as there are good genre films coming out every once in a while, even if the actors today who star in these films are not defined by the genre like maybe Wayne, Eastwood and of course Nero were back then. Anyway, back to this one, all in all a great story was missing here to go with the strong basic additions I mentioned earlier. I do not recommend the watch.

It's great to see Franco Nero (who else?) back as "the last gunfighter" of the title, in a wonderful black and white photography. Nero - hero of some of the greatest Italian-made western movies, starring in one of the absolute masterpieces of the genre, Corbucci's "Vamos a matar, companeros" - doesn't say a single word, he simply acts with his presence and his face. And that's enough to recreate the legend. The movie was actually filmed in a dismissed industrial area outside Turin, converted in a postmodern western location. Every detail is simply perfect, from the beginning to the end, making this short movie the latest masterpiece in Italian western.

If you love spaghetti westerns as much as I do, and that is a lot, you will probably enjoy watching this 10 minute short 7 or 8 times consecutively more than you would most other films, as I did, it's just that great! Franco Nero is... well... FRANCO NERO! And if this Dominici guy never makes a feature length film, not to mention a feature length spaghetti western, I will be enormously disappointed, he's got the talent to make 'em as good as the best ever did.Watch it and you won't be disappointed, in fact even if you hate Django, the 20 bucks you'll spend on it is well worth this extra disc alone(it's included with Django and comes on a little mini disc).

Great interpretation of Franco Nero! Very good the cinemathography of Dominici. Morricone's music arranged very well by italian pop group "Subsonica"
