Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The story in The Last Stand is pretty dumb if you ask me. Why would a most wanted escaped drug lord drive through the desert in a fast car to fled to Mexico? The whole police force and FBI are aware of it, know exactly where he is at any point and still don't manage to put up a few road blocks. And than building a bridge over a canyon to fled to Mexico. Really? That's the best idea they could come up with? If I was that drug lord I would just hide for a while and make myself invisible for the rest of the world, the time it all calms down and then just use the hundreds of easy ways to fled the country. The story is just too ridiculous. But if you're okay with that and you just want to see action scenes I guess that's what you get. The cast is what it is. Arnold Schwarzenegger proves again he isn't a great actor. You would think after so many years in the USA that he could manage to loose his ridiculous accent but no. Jimmy Knoxville should just continue Jackass and leave it at that. And Forrest Whitaker, he has had better roles than this one, that's the only thing I have to say about it. The Last Stand is just not good enough and doesn't deserve a higher rating than an average 5.

I wanted to review this movie because I believe it deserves a better rating than a 6.4. If I honestly rated it I believe it's something like a 7.5 ish based on what other movies are rated on this site. I thought this was a charming little movie, I thought Arnold was great in his character, his deputies were also well acted. It's totally a plot that's been done before but the simplicity and excellence of its execution were great. I thought the bad guy was a fun character and the car he gets away in was a really cool idea. i just really thought this movie deserves at least a 7 rating and I was really glad I gave this movie a shot, it made for a nice evening.

Either if this film is made solely to make a comeback for Arnold Schwarzenegger or simply to tickle the sense of low brow humor of twelve year old boys and rob them for their allowance, it's not working, and I'm happy to know it didn't make it at the box office. And, what is a brilliant actor like Forest Whitaker doing in this film, trying to soil his career? The only reason for him and several top actors to participate in this non sense, must be to pay Arnold some kind of tribute or/and that they got payed loads. And that's mainly what this is, loads of a lot of nothing, stuffed with old "clichés", actors asked to make bad and boring lines funny, when the only result is an annoying embarrassment. I was about to give it 2, only because the "entré" of Forest Whitaker all of a sudden gave me hope, but even he blew it. If this is supposed to be Arnold's last stand, then let's hope it is.

The Last Stand chucks Arnold Schwarzenegger in to a role where his gun does (most of) the talking. When all is quiet in the small town of Sommerton, the big man feels uneasy with the dialogue he's given, but when all hell breaks loose it's like he never gave up acting. TLS is his first full-length feature since governing California.There's a roughly spun narrative, drawn together by Deputy Ray Owens (Schwarzenegger) and his police rookies, who're investigating a murder, and Forest Whitaker's FBI hot shots, who're made to look stupid as they're consistently outmaneuvered by an escaped drug lord (Eduardo Noriega) who's making his way to the Mexican border. Both stories are linked... or are they? Little information is given to justify the events taking place in Sommerton. When Owens and his team, which includes Jackass' Johnny Knoxville (he's actually quite entertaining) fortify their town, it's easy to forget when the bullets fly and the blood drenches the dirt. The action is almost perfect; the level of gore pushes its 15 rating to the edge. Even the car chase sequence is expertly played. South-Korean director Jee-woon Kim makes his first film for the west, and rightfully so. The Last Stand, with a few hints of dire acting, has a equal level of cheesy lines and ferocious action. One to watch for the Schwarzenegger lovers.
