The Last Cartridge review

Decent little action movie which manages to overcome the limitations of its confined sets with plenty of movement and incident. The plot provides a crude template for dozens of adventure movies right up to the 1950s. The abrupt ending suggests that a few seconds of the film might be lost...

An Indian rebellion, silent film-style

THE LAST CARTRIDGE is an attempt to make a war film in a low budget and in a ten minute running time to boot. This is a silent black and white short kindly restored for modern viewers, and like pretty much all fare from this era, its historical status alone makes it an interesting watch.The film is set during an Indian rebellion and sees outnumbered British soldiers attempting to hold off a violent uprising. There are burning buildings and a shoot-out which is pretty well staged given the era. The film features American actors dressed up as Indian soldiers and some random native characters who jump around a lot; I'm not sure of their context. The ending goes for the melodramatic approach and works quite well.
