Synopsis

While awaiting the next fuel truck at a middle-of-nowhere Arizona rest stop, a traveling young knife salesman is thrust into a high-stakes hostage situation by the arrival of two similarly stranded bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty--or cold, hard steel--to protect their bloodstained, ill-begotten fortune.

Consensus

A smart, tautly constructed crime thriller with some fresh twists, The Last Stop in Yuma County marks writer-director Francis Galluppi as a talent to watch.

This combination of larceny, greed & moral failings is played at a Shakespearian level, with the kind of "edge of your seat" satisfaction that is increasingly rare in today's cinema.

244251 Owen Gleiberman Variety Fresh 2024-05-10T11:09:30.000Z 2024-05-10 11:09:30 It’s a lean, tight, and stylishly clever B-movie about a bank robbery gone wrong.

His command of tone is similarly assured, and the way Yuma County segues from indie quirk to genre violence... is remarkable. His disregard for pesky moralism is just icing on the cake.

It’s dark fun, assuming you find watching escalating tension a good time.
