    The Last Stand

    by stevendbeard

    This is Arnold's first big leading role since he was the Govenator of California [he had only cameo parts in the Expendables] . It's directed by Jee-woon Kim and this is his first American film [you might have seen his 'A Tale of Two Sisters' or 'The Good, The Bad, The Weird'] . Here , Arnold plays a small town sheriff that left the big city life of the LAPD for a more quite lifestyle . Forest plays an FBI agent that is transporting a Mexican drug lord [and , of course , looses him] . The drug lord plans his escape to go right through Arnold's small town [for some reason , it's the only route to Mexico] and that's when the fireworks begin . Jaimie is one of Arnold's deputies , Johnny gets deputized [he has some firepower that comes in handy] and Peter is a henchman that works for the bad guys . Let's see , there is action , comedy , fast cars and explosions and even some future one-liners ["I'm the Sheriff!"] . What's not to like ?
    I would buy it on Blu-Ray.
    Later, Steve

    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!

    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!!

    The last stand I think not

    by

    This movie was great. Full of fast car chases big explosions killer guns. And let us not forget some of Arnalds greatest one-liners. Johnny Knoxville was funny as hell. All in all if you like a good action movie go see this

    Entertainment Arnold style

    by hugh_who

    Like most reviewers, I agree that this is a fun and entertaining movie. Looking for an action movie with a a little humor in it, this is your movie. Like everyone else has said, this isn't a great cinematic achievement, but it is fun and goes well with popcorn.

    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.

    IT is what it is

    by

    Nice to see an old action star do what he does best: say one liners, look seriously into the camera, kill a ton of people and blow stuff up. That is all.

    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.

    A decent movie, plenty of action. Fun!

    by

    Going into this movie, I think many people have a preconceived bias towards Arnold Schwarzenegger. Sure, we're not going to see a terminator-worthy performance here. However, Arnold still manages to maintain his iconic terminator-esque figure, and overall bad***-ness.

    The story is simple to follow, very simple to be exact. Film critics will find the story to be mediocre, while regular movie-goers dive deep into their popcorn, finding it easy to become absorbed in the film. The character development is somewhat cliche'. However, the characters are fun, and humorous at times.

    Overall, the movie is action-packed, offering high levels of excitement and suspense, as well as plenty of action.

    With a roughly 1 hr 45 minute run time, this movie doesn't lull, and has very little dip. Decent flick, if you don't expect to see the best movie of your life, or even the best movie of the year, you will enjoy this film.

    Just focus on enjoying the ride.

    Very good movie, enjoyed it!

    by bgalaev

    This is really good movie. With Arnold Schwarzenner, rather old, but still impressive. Unfortunately political moment was not for such movie, which is showing how small group (4-5) of american people using their right to collect and wear guns managed to stop international gang on the boundary of USA. It shows FBI and federal authorities corrupted and helping new generation of Mexican drug dealers commit unbelievable crimes and factually rule the world. But small group of americans don't want this happen and opened real war on the Arizona state boundary against international gangsters. Real heroes and Arnold is fantastically good, but now not exactly the right moment in american history to popularize 2nd amendment. That's why not many people coming.

    by pedsarq

    Arnold wasn't kidding when he said "I'll be back!" This movie is action-packed and full of impressive firepower. Just go see it and you won't be sorry.

    LAST STAND

    by thedoctor777

    I was glad to see Arnold's first big starring role back turned out to be a good movie. I liked it a lot. Good story and acting from all the cast. What surprised me was the number of jokes throughout the film during the violent scenes. Yes there are many bad guys disposed of; but all in all I found it to be entertaining and well worth your money. Good action scenes and special effects were fine (not great, but ok).
