It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I love this movie of Arnold. It's a movie you can watch again and again many times and still love it. So cool. Arnold is still Killing it. And also the other actors. The movie is not a huge budget and big plot but rather like a episode and is perfect in that way. I've already watched it like 10-12 times in past few months.

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.

Yes this was entertaining from beginning to end and way better than I expected it to be. Less cheese, full of fast paced even thrilling action scenes, a decent story and an Arnold I remember from back in the day.The movie caters to Arnold fans and on that level it delivers (some great one-liners) but as an action movie on its own merits it defiantly has its moments too. The opening prison break out and ensuing car chase with the bad guy in his very cool, very fast (exceptional mileage) car is well done, as is the showdown in the cornfield and the shootout in the town. Decent cast here too including Forest Whitaker, Johnny Knoxville & Luis Guzman.I also appreciated how they had Schwarzenegger acting his age, he's not a invincible action hero here even after he pulls out the heavy artillery and with lines like "How are you, Sheriff?" to which he replies "Old!" it was kinda awesome.The story follows Schwarzenegger as Sheriff Ray Owens, a disgraced former LAPD narcotics officer who moved to a sleepy border town following a bungled operation. His peaceful existence is shattered when a notorious, drug kingpin escapes from an FBI prisoner convoy. With the help of his lawless mercenaries Cortez is now racing towards the US-Mexico border with a hostage in tow, straight through the Sheriff's town. 11/23/15
