The Last Stop in Yuma County

The Last Stop In Yuma County is a stylish, great-looking noir with an excellent cast.

The fascinating characters that populate the film and the masterful buildup of tension that unexpectedly erupts midway through the story more than compensate for any shortcomings.

Last Stop in Yuma County is the kind of movie where you root for the worst to happen, because every escalation of misfortune makes things more entertaining.

It’s a lean, tight, and stylishly clever B-movie about a bank robbery gone wrong.

The Last Stop in Yuma County is a promising debut, and a welcome chance to watch some actors you’ve seen in other things get a chance to branch out a little. It’s dark fun, assuming you find watching escalating tension a good time. And why wouldn’t you?

Galluppi’s premise has ingenious simplicity.

It’s not the most ambitious, original thriller or dazzling writing-directing debut. But Galluppi makes his covenant with the genre and the audience, and fulfills his obligations in a solid and satisfying roadside diner drama with moments of suspense, blasts of violence and enough dark dry laughs to remind us it’s supposed to be fun.

I actually quite unexpectedly enjoyed this - I like this kind of movies where many stories intertwine and then it is more interesting about what will happen

The Last Stop in Yuma County is a slow-paced Coen-like movie. Unfortunately, its slow tempo kills the vibe, but Francis Galluppi surprises the audience by not finishing the story inside the diner. The last 30 minutes were fun, yet until there, it was quiet dull.Richard Brake is an amazing actor. I try to watch every movie with him in it, as well as Alex Essoe.

A bizarre movie. Just random violence; everybody dead, and no real point to it at all, except randomness. Actors weren't special, dialog wasn't special, location wasn't special. Just some bizarre screenplay. Our take on this is: "don't waste your time unless you just like to watch random violence."

This film takes place in the 1970s primarily at a Gas Station/Diner/Motel Combo which growing up was pretty common when going on vacation. This one is located in the desert region on Yuma County Arizona. Weary Travelers low on fuel arrive gradually only to discover that the Gas Station was out of fuel til the Truck arrives and so these people are forced to wait at the Diner til they can refuel. In this eventual mix of humanity includes two unsavoury characters. The film stars Jocelin Donahue (Charlotte the Waitress), Jim Cummings (The Knife Salesman) Richard Brake (Unsavory Character #1), Nicholas Logan (Unsavoury Character #2), Faizon Love (Vernon) and Gene Jones (Robert), Robin Bartlett (Earline). My Thoughts: I thought the story was unique and interesting. The Director/Writer Francis Galluppi did a so so job. At times some of the scenes in the film were almost corny. Most of the actors have been in B Horror films in their career which made them seem like they were fresh off a local community Theatre Group with the exception of Jocelin Donahue who I thought truly shined and deserves better. Overall I found it mediocre at best.

All the fans are probably voting this film up, even though it's mediocre at best. In my opinion, any B-movie from the '90s is preferable to this one. You're not getting anything else here, just a time-waster that completely fails and is insignificant, doesn't even come close to accurately portraying the '70s or offering any interesting characters.
