But as it happens, the picture works rather well in its ultimate form.

Last Train To Fortune is a Western that has a huge cinematic heart at its fetching, enchanting center. Screen legend Malcolm McDowell owns the screen oozing charisma, comic timing; he and the film are a sheer joy to watch.

Last Train to Fortune is an amusing ride, carried by an easy dynamic between McDowell and Paxton. Aside from a couple of unnecessary gross moments, the film makes unexpected choices, while surprising us, and the characters, with some clever moves.

If you approach 'Last Train to Fortune' as a one-man show for Malcolm McDowell, its ninety minutes will pass fairly agreeably. But overall, it’s a pretty thin fable about an unlikely friendship in the Old West.

It’s a shame that Last Train to Fortune, a project with so much emotional weight behind it, turned out rather weightless, but there’s enough love behind this labor to keep a potential viewer from writing it off completely.

Last Train to Fortune is a surprisingly heartfelt, engaging western that is elevated by a truly special bond between Cecil Peachtree (McDowell) and Jebidiah Dooley (Paxton). From minute one, I couldn't see where this was going, and I stayed deeply engaged until the end!

Charming comedy that every teacher should see. It made me rethink my retirement as a college professor through its on-point dialogue.
