Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
View MoreBlending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
View MoreThe idea for this movie is quite interesting. It could be an interesting science fiction movie set in post apocalyptic world . Unfortunately it's not. From what I've heard the movie makers had very small budget . So small that they struggled to finish this movie . A movie with low budget doesn't necessary has to suck . This one is bad. REALLY BAD.When you don't have money you can always impress the audience with other things : acting , dialogue , plot "The Last patrol" is poor not only with production values. It's an action movie with no action ! The first fight happens here after 1 hour and 10 minutes ! That's right . Before Lundgren will hit and kick someone you will have to wait 1 hour and 10 minutes . The last 20 minutes of movie are "intense" – we have one shootout , 5 kicks , 7 punches and 1 explosion (not too impressive) . That's all you get after suffering 1 hour and 10 minutes of boredom. And some pseudo-intellectual dialogue about faith. Admit it – that's not the reason you watch action movie , especially with Dolph Lundgren.So what's happening before the " big climax" ? Nothing . We are introduced to characters we couldn't care less about . To be honest if it wasn't for Lundgren I would swear I was watching some idiotic comedy . I guess they wanted to make a drama about people trying to survive in a destroyed world . I don't understand why they filled the movie with characters that could easily appear in "Police academy" – the milkman , the dragged couple , the pseudo-Indian , the dumb blonde girl , the macho soldier . There is a big twist involving Lundgren's past – I don't understand what was so traumatic in it . Seriously . I laughed so hard when the movie revealed his big secret . I expected something dark and heartbreaking , while it was all about a simple talk. One meeting with black woman and children changed his life so much he had nightmares . It feels odd at best.I have to point three dues ex machine plot solutions – one with the earthquake , second with the explosion and third with the rain. And the magical "saved from the death".I also have to point that the movie drags all the time . It's boring like HELL . There is no interesting dialogue or good acting. "The Last Patrol" is the definition of words : dull and lifeless. And stupid.I give it 1/10.
View MoreDolph is a man whom i believe has/had the potential to have the same success as Arnie or Sly as he has the charisma than other action stars such as Seagal (which isn't saying much). This movie however made me eat these words as Dolph plods through this bored out of his skull, as were i and i believe i saw the first punch in the movie over an hour into it. Filling the gap is tedious boring acting in which everyone is very annoying that will push viewers over the edge. Guys do yourself a favour and avoid this drivel or you will regret it. Heres fingers crossed the expendables will change Dolphs future from making crap like this again
View MoreI have read some of the other comments and felt the need to express myself! For those who gives this flic more than a 3 rating must have seen another movie because this one is bad and very disappointing.. An earthquake changes our society and everything has changed. A good starting point. Unfortunately after about 3 minutes you will be confined and find yourself in an infinite emptiness for wasting 3 minutes of your life. The actors are acting bad, but the director has directed them very bad. All the scenes are weird because the actors looks like they know that this is bad. With stiff movements (very robot like) and uncertain actors, the art of acting is put to question. If you have gone to an acting school you should have passion for acting, and none of the actors represented in this flic shows passion for their work. The only good actors are the children! Another thing is the storyline and the direction of the movie. Sure the "fighting" is good, but are they trying to make fun of the action genre or do they actually want this? The Policeman running away from his car into the desert to escape the monsters (who are not there) and the school/church leader being a godlike something (with magical powers to control the weather)? Realistic/Likely? .. no it's just silly and sad.If you want to see a really bad movie and have good company who wants to have a good laugh, you should reconsider seeing this one! .. If you want the definition of a really bad action movie, see it! Me, i will let my memory erase the scars with time!
View MoreThis movie is not what I expected from the DVD's cover or from some of the reviews posted here. There have been countless post-apocalyptic, Mad Max clones and rip-offs but this movie differs from most in that it takes a lot of time to get to the running around and shooting scenes. Time which is spent on character and atmosphere.The story is just as full of holes and "what the hell are they talking about?" moments as any other cheapo SF flick (for instance were we really expected to believe that that fine, healthy horse had been stuck in that box in the middle of the desert for weeks!? And I'm not sure the whole weird disease, pain relief ward run by desperate murderers and psychos thing made any sense at all.) But there was so much other weirdness floating about that I got the idea things might be explained / resolved by the end. They weren't, but the air of weirdness: the sudden strange Christian Voodoo rain magic thing, the cons standing in the blazing sun drinking their own urine and watching (worshipping?) their Hispanic leader Jesus on massed TV screens, the almost dreamlike quality of some of the scenes carried me through to the end.This may not be a great movie (or even a good one) but it sure as hell is a lot more interesting than 90% of the cheap, explosion driven, crap that masquerade as SF movies out there.Incidentally if you watch this on DVD check to see if there is a "making of" featurette. It's pretty standard fare but look out for the producer(?) trying to hide his astonishment they could find decent actors in Israel. His hair is incredible. Scariest thing I have seen all week. It's like Arch Hall's in Eegah!, only more so. I hope it was a wig.
