Story:
A Columbian drug cartel leader tries to escape imprisonment by cutting through a small town, unaware that the sheriff is determined to stop him.
Review:
The Last Stand is one of those movies that you'll see testosterone pumped guys watching. It really doesn't contribute much to the action genre other than that it's a cliched action flick with three or four non-white characters. That wouldn't seem like too much of a stereotype but the two Hispanic characters are very racially stereotypical. Oh and The Last Stand is about a fictional bridge in Arizona that connects to Mexico, that is completely unsupervised. Even for an action film that is ridiculous.
Anyways, The Last Stand isn't very entertaining. All it has is a lot of bland shootouts and a few very short car chase sequences. Arnold is getting old and his age is really starting to show, the other actors were very forgettable and were honestly more wooden than Hayden Christensen was in Star Wars, and I didn't notice the soundtrack at all; yes the soundtrack is there, but it just goes by unnoticed. There is nothing about The Last Stand that is remarkable, even the main character is forgettable. By the time I was done watching it, I felt like I had just stared at a wall for an hour and a half.
This is especially odd because the director, Jee-woon Kim, is actually a fairly competent director, having previously directed A Tale of Two Sisters, The Good, The Bad, The Weird, and I Saw The Devil. I guess every director has their terrible film.
Overall, a forgettable film.
