The Last Stand


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes

Yes, great fun. A solid action film, a bit of an old school Western Stand off between the sheriff and an outlaw. Arnold Schwarzenegger returns to the big screen (Im' not counting the extended cameos in The Expendables) and Jee-woon Kim first Hollywood film is just as stylish and well paced as his other films. This is more along the lines of The Good, The Bad and the Weird in terms of tone. Just a lot of fun.

And there's a good supporting cast too that all get their moments. The plot is nothing special, it's a classic set up but the film just flows.

There is a big focus on gunplay, I'm sure all the republicans will love that. Along with that comes some brief moments of violence, pretty over the top but always with the intention of entertaining. And Arnie gets one or two one liners.

Really solid and entertaining action B-movie. I hope Jee-woon Kim sticks around and makes more.
