Such a frustrating disappointment

Best movie of this year hands down!

An absolute waste of money

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

A good time for Schwarzenegger fans. The action is excellent. I liked the characters. The film moves along at a good pace. The film has a satisfying finale. The car in the film, that Corvette ZR1. That car is beautiful. I like the idea of the film about a drug lord trying to escape across the border and a small town sheriff bringing his friends together to make a last stand to stop him while dealing with a gang of mercenaries.

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.

Okay the first few minutes is kinda okay but after that it's just 100% pure crap of the worst script and dialogue you could ever imagine. I could take a few scenes first. You know the usual police is stupid BS. But after scene after scene of just awful lines and thoughts about ... really? Anyone wants people to actually believe this crap? No I could take about 25 minutes and then I just thought to myself nope I will not sit another minute with this they call a movie. It is too bad also. Because at the beginning the movie had potential. Arnolds character had some wisdom and we had Peter Stormare as the perfect bad guy. But no just no ! Don't even bother with this movie. Go ahead and just try writing a action movie by yourself instead. I promise it will be better than this awful thing they would call a movie. My respect dropped to 0% for everyone who were involved in this movie. Do yourself a favor and just stay clear of this one.

Continuing my plan to watch every movie in Arnold Schwarzenegger's filmography in order, I come to his comeback movie The Last Stand.Plot In A Paragraph: With the FBI in pursuit, the escaped leader of a drug cartel speeds to the Mexican border, where the only thing in his path is a sheriff (Arnie) and his inexperienced staff.It's good to have Arnie back in action, there is an undeniable pleasure in watching him kicking ass again. But his acting and delivery has gone backwards and sadly this is more like his last 8 movies, than his glory days of the early 90's. That said, he is the only real reason to see this, he lends nearly all the weight there is to this near weightless plot. The emotional relationships were as artificial as the showdown between the two adversaries on the bridge. During the final confrontation, we are meant to feel that Arnie and his deputies are danger of being killed, but the danger never for one moment exists. Luis Guzman is OK, Johnny Knoxville does what Johnny Knoxville does, whilst Peter Stormare and Rodrigo Sotoro are your rent a villains and Forest Whittaker goes through the motions of performing in a part that has no real identity and he has no lines worth speaking.In his autobiography Total Recall Arnie says how his love child scandal affected his career. "Hollywood pulled back and once again, the phone stopped ringing" The Governator, an animated show and comic book by Stan Lee was shelved, and Cry Macho (a movie he was looking forward to making the entire time he was Governor) was derailed too. The Last Stand completely tanked at the domestic box office grossing only $12 million.It's more watchable than End Of Days, 6th Day and Collateral Damage, but not by much.
