Imagined Rifleman

 

The Last Rifleman (2023)


Directed by Kevin Fitzpatrick this film stars Pierce Brosnana, Clemence Poesy and Jrugen Prochnow. On the 7th anniversary of D-Day a vertern in his 90s escapes his care home to go to the memorial in Normandy.


This fictional story is just a bit too conveniently constructed. Even the part where the protagonist confronts a former SS member does not have enough bite to it. Given there is a true story that inspired this I do not see why we need a fictional take.


2/5
