    If you love 80's action movies you will love this one

    by kmoney51

    It's been some time since we've seen Arnold starring in anything worthwhile. Despite having a few minutes in the "Expendables 2", this is the first time in a while since Arnold took command of a movie. Other than looking his age, unlike his buddy Stallone, Arnold seems to have a knack for giving a performance suitable for someone twenty years his junior. He manages to show some emotion as he is the Sheriff of a small town that has a motley crue of deputies. Forest Whittaker plays the usual serious law enforcement official and Johnny Knoxville has a few good scenes that provide some comic relief. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the bad guy who is played by some guy that looks more like he's a backup dancer for Ricky Martin. Solid action with some great looking car chase scenes and minimal down time. If your an action fan you'll enjoy this movie.

    Not an Arnold fan, but LOVED this movie

    by kerri.millard

    I truly enjoyed this movie. I'll be the first to admit that I am not a fan of Arnold?s; I went to see Johnny Knoxville. The movie was somewhat gory and violent, but it was a good movie. It had a great story, loved the characters and it held my attention. You could tell that Arnold?s character really cared about his officers. There was a lot of classic Arnold moves. The entire cast was great; you were rooting for the good guys the whole movie, and hating the bad guys. I never once thought, ?when will this be over?. As someone who HATES going to the movie and would rather wait until it hits DVD, I am very glad I didn?t wait to see this. But when it does come out on DVD, I WILL BUY IT!!

    Arnold IS the sherriff. Lots of action and funny!!!

    by highbid2

    I think the critics need to go back to school to remember what you go to the movies for! This movie has it all. We were all cheering and laughing throughout the whole movie. Arnold IS the sherriff, no one could have played it better! I say must go!

    ARNOLD IS BACK!

    by Movie_Buff_86

    Arnold is back and as old as ever! Just kidding. This movie was a lot of fun. It had a nice balance of humor but had just enough action that you would expect in an Arnold movie. You have an excaped fugitive who is doing everything he can to make it to Mexico. The only problem is, he has to make his way through the small town in Arizon whcih is called Sommerton. Arnold and his band of misfits are the last line of defense and must do everything they can to stop him and his band of thugs. This was a fun movie, and i encourage you all to go see it. I can't wait to get it on DVD!!!! Money well spent.

    Was pleasantly surprised and entertained in a good way. LOTS OF FUN TO WATCH.

    by wonder_chimp

    Ok, so I was not expecting much on this. Yes, I do admit I like some of Arnold's older movies. I thought what the heck and decided to watch it. The supporting cast was actually pretty interesting. Did not expect it to work the way it did but it really worked on ok. The did the right thing by making some of the over the top scenes actually funny yet still had you engaged to in the story without making it cheesy. I was thinking that Arnold would look like my granpa trying to kick *** but he actually did fit the roll of the butt kicking sheriff decently. There is a scene that gets pretty physical and it I was sold. The overall story is part feasible and part semi plausible but it stayed together. It did not follow the same cadence of the last few action movies Arnold did last so it felt more refreshing and interesting to watch. Aside from any of the negatives it was overall fun and funny to watch. Good experience all around. I say check it out!

    Good mix of action and comedy

    by stephieowens

    I wasn't so sure about seeing this in the theater but I was glad I saw it. I was pleasantly surprised how funny the movie was. Of course there was a lot of action but the story line was solid and the actors were very good. I'd definitely recommend seeing it. Maybe see it on a discount day at your theater or wait till it comes out on DVD but definitely worth seeing.

    Arnie's Back!

    by

    While expectations for the once world's most famous and popular actor return are not high, it helps make this movie better. Since the action stars have aged and took a hiatus till The Expendables reunited everyone, I feel that movies aren't made that way they once where, and that's where Arnold reigns supreme. Nothing you haven't seen before, you still find yourself grinning from ear to ear throughout The Last Stand's total run time. Arnold is a bad-a all over again and hasn't lost much of his comedic timing either. Luis Guzman is still funny, Johnny Knoxville is, well, still a jack-a, and Genesis Rodriguez is soon to be typecast if she doesn't get herself a role where she's more than just eye candy. (She's great in Casa de mi Padre, though.) The violence is fun, the cast works well together, and director Kim Ji-Woon puts it all together so well I'm going to need to see some of his other work. Well worth a trip to the theaters and DEFINITELY worth picking up on DVD if you wait.

    by cabamama

    We love Arnold and so glad he is back in the movies again. The movie was just great. Suspense some laughs too. Johnny Knoxville was funny and had a role that fit him perfect. Told the family they need to go. Love you Arnold....................

    Great Fun

    by edyoung99

    Saw the movie with one of my sons and then we went to a burger joint for dinner. Meanwhile, my wife and a few of her friends went to dinner where they could all get a salad and then they went to a play. There is no doubt my son and I had a much better time.

    The movie was just plain FUN - we laughed at both the great lines and the implausible action scenes. For the men out there, not sure that your wife will like it but I guarantee you will!!!

    The Last Stand

    by Ms. Nicolette

    I agree with the last person who saw the movie, she's right, the slapstick humor and the guns just made this movie a lot of fun to watch. You should definitely go see it, it is a lot of fun!!

    Fun ride

    by FLASH1465

    I rate this a B+. It is a typical Arnold movie that would have worked great about 10-15 years ago. However it was a fun escape. Lots of action, cheesy lines and some funny bits. But Arnold is getting a little old for the one liners that they force out of his mouth....they just don't carry the weight like they used to. That being said it was good to see him back in action. Go and enjoy it for what it is....fun.

    surprisingly good

    by innocent1bystander

    I heard the movie didn't do very well at the box office and that the critics were hard on it. Then I read a review that panned the movie for having gun violence, for having Arnold in it (seems the reviewer had issues with the Govenator's attempts to balance CA's budget at the expense of some of the unions--which made me like the movie more). Could it be that some of the folks who are down on Arnold would be down on ANY movie he did? Can't say for sure, but I can say that I saw the movie tonight because I was worried it might leave the theaters after its difficult start. I really liked the movie. It was funny at parts, brutal at others, but didn't take itself too seriously. Knoxville was hilarious and Arnold delivered some great lines. This movie isn't for the kids, but delivers a great time to those able to handle it and who aren't so sensitive they think a kindergartener should be expelled for using a finger gun at recess. No Oscars, but lots more fun than those that will win.

    Arnold is Back!

    by dothreban

    If you're a fan of the Terminator you have to check this out. A bit different from what you would be used to coming from Arnie but still a good action movie with a lot of substance.
