An Unforgettable Western
Just when you thought all westerns were saddle sore sagas with no surprises, "Donnybrook" director Tim Sutton's offbeat horse opera "The Last Son," co-starring Sam Worthington, Thomas Jane, and Heather Graham, shows the genre still has some giddy-up. A teenage girl summarizes the premise during her introductory voice-over narration. "Isaac LeMay roamed the Great Plains and the Western territories taking up with whores and siring children across the land without thought to consequence. He gained employment clearing Cheyenne for the army and it was the ugliness of this task which turned him to ruin. For his crimes, the Cheyenne chief White Thunder cursed him to be killed by his own seed. Haunted, Isaac tracked down his children one by one and killed them before they did the same to him." Were this narration not enough, Sutton and freshman writer Greg Thomas repeat it during the first scene. When our scruffy, unkempt protagonist, Isaac LeMay (Sam Worthington of "Avatar"),enters a tent saloon, the barkeeper regards this tall, bearded hulk in a derby hat and bearskin coat with suspicion. Nevertheless, he pours him a shot of rye whiskey. "Rumor is there's a man from the plains goin' around killing his own kin. Says he came back here to wipe his seed from the earth. You hear this rumor? The man carries an ivory-handled Colt, much like the one you are carrying." Brandishing a sawed-off, double-barreled, twelve-gauge shotgun, the barkeeper brings both barrels to bear on LeMay. "Finish the whiskey and leave." In a gesture of defiance, LeMay pours out the rye and departs without a word.
The three main characters in "The Last Son" stalk each other like wolves. Isaac LeMay has gone berserk and is exterminating his offspring. After he leaves the bar, he encounters Lionel, another of his many sons and guns him down in cold blood. Lionel's twin brother Cal is next on Isaac's list. When Cal learns that Isaac attacked his mother, Anna (Heather Graham of "Boogie Nights"),and sliced off her thumb, he swears vengeance. Cal shares his father's voracious appetite for violence. Earlier, Cal and his two partners had hijacked a . 58 caliber U. S. Army Gatling Gun, capable of spewing as many as 400 rounds per minute, the granddaddy of the contemporary machine gun. They use it to rob a bank. Later, in a fit of sadistic glee, Cal massacres a company of unsuspecting cavalry troopers around their tents. Interestingly, Rapper Machine Gun Kelly plays both Cal and Lionel with wholly different personalities. The third character, a duty-bound U. S. Cavalry officer, Lieutenant Solomon (Thomas Jane of "The Punisher"),launches a manhunt for the dastards who stole the Gatling gun. Eventually, Solomon asks Anna about Cal's whereabouts. Naturally, since her son is the apple of her eye, Anna refuses to believe Cal could be a homicidal maniac. Eventually, Isaac confronts one of his daughters. Tempting her, he gives his six-gun to Megan (Emily Marie Palmer of "Lansky"),but she cannot shoot him. Incredibly, Isaac has found one of his own he need not kill! Clearly, Megan poses no threat to him. While he is searching for the Gatling gun thieves, Lieutenant Solomon hires out his skills as a scout to track down the elusive Isaac. Later, we learn Isaac has eliminated six of his sons. Obsessively driven by White Thunder's curse, the superstitious Isaac maintains his malevolence as if it were a holy crusade.
Sutton's solemn, straightforward western is as stark as Clint Eastwood's Oscar winning classic "Unforgiven" (1992). Clocking in at 96 minutes, "The Last Son" takes audiences for a ride where no western has gone with a demented, larger-than-life villain who seems indestructible. Isaac LeMay thrives on killing his children, and no man seems formidable enough to thwart his familicide until Cal rises to the challenge. Virtually all of the bullet-riddled gunplay erupts amid the monumental majesty of Montana's mountainous terrain. Everything looks as if it were lensed at remote locations rather than studio soundstages. The apparel and architecture appear accurate for the period. The use of a Gatling gun as a plot device evokes memories of just about every other European Spaghetti western from the 1960s and 1970s. Those renegade westerns used Gatling guns to boost the body count. In "The Outlaw Josey Wales" (1976),Clint Eastwood mowed down his adversaries with a Gatling gun, too! Meantime, "The Last Son" never lacks for spontaneity. Beware of the sudden, graphic, R-rated violence Sutton stages with lusty gusto. Emily Marie Palmer takes top honors for her performance as Megan. Sam Worthington is almost unrecognizable beneath his abundant whiskers as Isaac, while Thomas Jane delivers the most sympathetic performance. Ultimately, "The Last Son" ends with a stunning revelation about Isaac's fate that some will find unforgettable.
