It’s the last gas for 200 miles. Except this morning, the fuel truck hasn’t shown up, so there’s no gas at all. Half a dozen travellers have no choice but to wait it out in the diner next door: a salesman (Jim Cummings), an elderly couple on vacation, a local who likes to shoot the shit with the waitress (Jocelin Donahue) even though she’s married to the local sheriff… and two bank robbers just itching to get the hell out of Yuma. Francis Galluppi’s sun-baked neo-noir harks back to Reservoir Dogs and Red Rock West: it’s clammy (the air-con is out), mean, and it takes no prisoners.
The Last Stop In Yuma County tells a simple story but does so in an extraordinary way. It’s a film you won’t forget for a long, long time.
