- 85The Daily BeastNick SchagerThe Daily BeastNick SchagerA tense, fatalistic saga of bad luck and worse decisions, it’s a throwback that feels as fresh and alive as its predecessors did decades ago. Not to be missed, it stands as one of the most welcome surprises of this moviegoing year.

- 75Slant MagazineRoss McIndoeSlant MagazineRoss McIndoeThere are little moments of blackhearted comedy among the bloodshed, but through it all, The Last Stop in Yuma County makes sure that those gunshots resonate.
- 75RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzRogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzLast Stop in Yuma County is the kind of movie where you root for the worst to happen, because every escalation of misfortune makes things more entertaining.
- 70Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzArizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzThe Last Stop in Yuma County is a promising debut, and a welcome chance to watch some actors you’ve seen in other things get a chance to branch out a little. It’s dark fun, assuming you find watching escalating tension a good time. And why wouldn’t you?
- 70ColliderChase HutchinsonColliderChase HutchinsonThere is much about it that remains imperfect, especially in terms of some of the broad character beats that it begins with, but it proves to be proper fun once it gets going.

- 67The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerThe A.V. ClubJesse HassengerGalluppi’s premise has ingenious simplicity.
- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreIt’s not the most ambitious, original thriller or dazzling writing-directing debut. But Galluppi makes his covenant with the genre and the audience, and fulfills his obligations in a solid and satisfying roadside diner drama with moments of suspense, blasts of violence and enough dark dry laughs to remind us it’s supposed to be fun.
