Over a year after its release on Sky Cinema back in November 2023, Pierce Brosnan's latest project, The Last Rifleman, is finally available online.
The actor, 71, shared the news with his fans on social media, letting them know that his project is now streaming on Prime Video after its Sky release on November 5, 2023.
Pierce also looks completely different for the project, transforming himself from the suave silver-haired James Bond type we know to a much older gentleman, sporting aging make-up, prosthetic wrinkles, and a thinning hairline.
He also walks with a cane and is seen for the majority of the film wearing a military commander's uniform. The film revolves around a World War II vet who decides to leave his care home to travel to France on the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy.
The British drama then turns into a road-trip movie of sorts that features lead Artie Crawford (played by Pierce) coming to terms with the loss of his friend and his own demons from the war.
He received several compliments from fans praising the film, with even Stephen Baldwin commenting: "You're the only one, sir, on one hand, I can count the gentlemen that have not only honored family, but that have also honored our industry. God bless you sir!!"

The film is loosely based on the story of real-life D-Day vet Bernard Jordan, who similarly left his own care home in England for France. Coincidentally, the film The Great Escaper, starring Michael Caine in the lead role, was based on the same story and released just a few weeks before The Last Rifleman.

In a new interview with ScreenRant, Pierce spoke about the film and hoping that he'd been able to fully transform for the role, despite being only two decades shy of the age that Artie is.
"I'm closer to that age now than I've ever been. So sometimes, you know, no acting required!" he remarked. "But nevertheless, there was, I hope, some transformation with Artie, and that was the challenge and that was the joy of playing this role."

The Last Rifleman was also actor John Amos' final work before his death in August 2024 (one that wasn't actually reported until October), and the Remington Steele star spoke fondly of his co-star.

He recalled: "He was there with his son. And I had, actually, my mother with me and my son. And those few days that we had, they have become such a deep, fond memory."
