What is it that makes people who pretend to be something they're not in order to reach the widest possible audience think that they can do a one-eighty and move into a career that actually matters? I'm so sick of politicians thinking they can be actors.

If I wanted something new, I would have plopped a fresh deodorizer in my toilet tank and watched as the water magically changed from clear to blue. The Last Stand had EXACTLY what I wanted from the return of the Governator: brainless story with Arnie at the helm and a lot of cool bit actors swabbing the deck? Check. Shriver-less Arnie blowing stuff up without worrying about the body count? Double check. Old Arnie saying "I'm too old for this." Triple check and check.

A solid, efficient, cleanly-shot display of gunfights, explosions, fast cars, and bloodshed. You know damn well if this kind of thing is for you or not. View or do not accordingly. (My one real gripe, even for the film being what it is: Too much CGI blood. Yes, filmmakers, we can tell the difference! Use the real wet red stuff!)

At times excessively violent and emotionally contrived 100 minutes Corvette commercial. The old school action is pretty sweet and Schwarzenegger pulls some awkward grins while blurting out his text incomprehensibly which was pretty hilarious, classic Aaahnuuld. Worth a watch if you're a fan.

Nolfi and Knauer (how's that for a band name?) have written a remarkably confused script for a silly action flick, and could've easily done away with Knoxville and one female character. I'm on the fence with the Corvette, though, as the idea reminded me of equal parts 'Knight Rider' and 'Cannonball Run'. I felt like I was being force fed my own childhood in all its macho terribleness, and yet I left singing that greatest of early-90s kids songs: "Arnold shots a Vickers gun, Doodaaah, Doodaah."

This wasn't terrible. The Last Stand is a bit ridiculousness but hell if it doesn't have fun while trying. One of Arnold Schwarzenegger's best movies since the 90's. I always like Whitaker and Stormare and Guzman is always silly. Should be enough for Arnold's fans.

Kim Ji-Woon is usually a pretty good director and this film smells of producer and studio fuckery. Besides the idiotic lines the action seems too polished and has none of the nuanced choreography or surprises of Kim's other films. Arnold's return is a snooze and he can't seem to squeeze any wit or emotion out of the already terrible lines. There is no excuse for this being a total failure given a few of the brilliant cast members not named Arnold or Knoxville. It's a basic cable action movie.

Arnold can still carry a movie by his own, The Last Stand is an old-fashioned action flick with a fresh feel thanks to Ji-woon Kim's direction; unfortunatly it looks like this won't be Kim's Hard Target and have him explode onto Hollywood.

I really didn't think I'd like The Last Stand. But it's actually a gripping, thrilling and thoroughly involving movie that strikes a great balance of action thrills, intense drama, and light relief. It's funny, but not cringily so; it's action-packed, but not at the expense of story, and it can slow down when necessary. It's what a popcorn flick should be, an easy watch that doesn't insult your intelligence, and it's a shame it's bombed. full review at Letterboxd

This is everything a watch-it-on-cable cheesy action flick needs. It's got Arnold, bad one liners, groan-worthy visual gags, a scenery-chewing villain (Stormare is way more entertaining than Noriega), a sharp visual sense thanks to Kim Ji-Woon, it's got cartoonish violence so bright red that it should make thoughtful viewers question why they're laughing but probably won't, and it's vile politically. It doesn't have anything it needs to be better than a watch-it-on-cable action flick, though.

Knoxville's Jackass stuff seems completely unnecessary, and Guzmán looks really bored, but this is, for better or worse, an entertaining, so-bad-it's-good return for Arnold. Ji-woon is unable to overcome the script's limitations, but still provides a couple of good scenes -- Arnold flying and making a headshot is brilliant. In a way, Last stand is also a comeback for a conservative, right-wing cinema that only could work if the director had a self-conscious, Expendables 2-like, sensibility.

The Last Stand is jammed packed with action-movie tropes in a somewhat entertaining film that is tonally confused. A Mexican fugitive (who races cars), a FBI agent who's a little too invested in his job, the competent sheriff of a town of hicks, Russians covertly building a bridge; the entire thing is ludicrous. At times it works, particularly with Knoxville not taking his dialogue seriously. Poor CGI and bad camerawork don't really help. Even the theme seemed to be poking fun at the action.

Considering KJW is my second favorite director, I was expecting this to be absolutely soulcrushing. And whilst the script is dire & the villain piss-weak, there's a lot of fun to be had and, as to be expected, some competent direction. Still, why is Arnie cutting a guy in half with a gatling gun not the best thing ever? A combination of vacuous studio action & CGI bloodshed, perhaps?

The Last Stand was a film I had anticipated and waited a long time for. It marked the feature length comeback of one of my childhood heroes Arnold Schwarzenegger. Was it worth the wait? Overall probably not. Arnold is humorous but he is rusty and he delivers his lines gingerly. The set pieces featuring Arnold are great fun, but everything and everyone else is forgettable. The scale is small and the plot lacks originality, but its still great to have Arnold back I suppose.

Not really a good action movie, but somewhat enjoyable, what with the small town charm, the camaraderie, and the two comical characters. Don't care much for the FBI agent (Forest Whitaker) or Corvette ZR1 commercial. Arnie's accent is still amusing, but his badassery has waned with his advanced age.

Too lightweight and sloppy to actually be any good, but wonderfully stupid and simple. "The Last Stand" is like getting a hug and kiss from a beautiful old girlfriend, only to find that she's put on a shit-ton of weight, lost all her teeth and has aged terribly!

I could not give a damn about any character or story element in The Last Stand. To be fair, making emotional connections to things has been difficult ever since I accidentally set that zoo on fire, but this movie doesn't even seem to try. It's so lazy, stupid and bland that you don't even realise the main villain spends 90% of the movie sitting in a car until it's almost over. Considering the director I expected so much more. Where did I leave that lighter fluid?

Text book comedy that you are not supposed to expect too much of or take all that seriously. Just an easy watch, which can also be very nice sometimes. I might be overrating it a bit since it's nice to have Arnold back (and as the tough guy we known him to be), but I actually think it was rather entertaining.

It's like a modern cheesy '80s action movie. The action is super stylish, but it's got the bad jokes and goofy atmosphere of an old Schwarzenegger movie. IT EVEN ENDS WITH A FREEZE FRAME! COME ON THIS IS THE BEST! Fine, it's dumb, but it's the best kind of dumb. Kim Jee-woon is always doing his personal take on genre movies, and I love that when given the chance to work with Schwarzenegger, he makes his twist on the prototypical Schwarzenegger film.

A very adequate action film, and proof that Arnold is still castable. Though it is simple, one-linerific and dumb, I enjoyed this film for its pace (once it gets going), cool villain (Stormare, not Noriega) and its cast - except Johnny Knoxville, who seems to be trying to ruin the film. Props for the last scene(s), featuring the only interesting car chase and the only interesting end fight I've seen in a long time. Not brilliant by any standard, but entertaining. Simple is good sometimes.

"Twelve thousand Mexicans cross over every day, and you have a problem letting one cross back" -- the villain of the new Arnold Schwarzenegger film The Last Stand, makes a compelling argument. His only problem: the former Governator just ain't listening. Long-term political hiatus for an action man puts debates out of question, I suppose.

This is a slow boil, with more character and nuance than any of Arnold's earlier shoot-em-ups. As ballistic and violent as this film is, it is very much a good old fashioned western in a modern small town setting. Even though this is Arnold's show, the supporting characters actually have a great deal of development, and a surprising amount of humor spills over into nearly every scene. The action set pieces are very creative, and for a patient audience, this is an enjoyably flawed film.

It's silly, but the action scenes have enough style and character to where it remains fun. It's filled with character actors each playing their appropriate assigned roles (yes, I'm even including Arnold as a character actor of sorts) and it's all harmless enough. There have been a lot worse action films recently than this. Pure, simple fluff.

Kim Jee-woon really helps to elevate a so-so action script into a real blast. Of course Arnold (and others) play a role in that, too. Forest Whitaker is really hitting cliche after cliche as a Fed, but something in it was hysterical to me. Great action throughout, but the last 3 action sequences are all different and all spectacular. A flawed film but an incredibly fun ride.

If nothing else, THE LAST STAND marks the welcome return of Arnold Schwarzenegger to leading roles--and here, at 65, he's in fine form. He's the sheriff of a small Arizona town which finds itself in the path of a fugitive drug lord (Eduardo Noriega). Does he rise to the challenge? You bet he does. A very satisfying entertainment, with plenty of guns, fights, chases, and jokes, and good work from Forest Whitaker, Luiz Guzman, Johnny Knoxville, and Peter Stormare. "Who are you?" "I'm the sheriff."

This is the most boring Arnold has ever been in a movie and the film generally lacks much personality overall. The first half is also a boring ass slog. I'd be okay with them using all of these boring 00's action movie cliches if you at least let Arnie do quips and convey any sort of charisma, but I guess he's gotten too old for that. The only saving grace of this movie is the damn solid climatic fight on the second half; which while not revolutionary, was entertaining enough to boost my rating.

Arnold’s back! A shame he couldn’t arrive in a vehicle fit for him, rather than one that feels re-written around him (how else to explain the epic burying of the lede for 45 minutes before the man swings into action?) Worthwhile to see The Great Return, and Arnie proves he’s lost little of his action prowess; not helped by Stormare, who makes such a chilling villain that he completely overshadows Santoro, making the climactic one-on-one feel somewhat deflated and moot.

Ok, Arnies on board.... do we have a comedic figure? a hot woman? her love interest? an incompetent FBI guy? a family friendly mexican copper who will be shot and survive? A stupid white one who wont? A nasty villian and his cohort of cannon fodder extras? An unlimited number of weapons, cars and last but not least a bridge that we can have a fight on? (completely unecessarily, I might add). Arnie (rapidly morphing into Eastwood) chews his lines up like a gear box full of spanners but its fun.

Schwarzenegger is devoid of his classic almost comic screen personae brimming with memorable one-liners, which is a little bit disappointing, I guess, but nevertheless he plays a very solid character true to what the film establishes his morals and traits to be. The film itself is forgettable, with a few out-of-place side characters, forgettable action sequences, and TV-ad-worthy product placements. At least it's not taking itself too seriously, which makes it more or less enjoyable.

For a bit of mindless--and I do mean mindless--fun, not terrible. The script is barely literature, which may be a good thing, consider much of the cast, especially the leads. But there were far fewer cringe-worthy moments than I expected, and the occasional good laugh line (like the line addressed to Arnie: "Wow, you lookin' jacked, you've been working out?").

A tremendously enjoyable action movie. Arnold is still - even at this age - an unmatched action hero, blasting his way through the plot, mumbling oneliners with a deadpan expression. The trite plot is somehow saved by the tongue-in-cheek 'humor'. Unfortunately, whenever Johnny knoxville enters the scene, things tend to turn to shit.

I don't think it could have been better but it could have been much worse, if that makes sense. There is nothing exceedingly well done in this movie, but it just seems to hit the right notes to make it enjoyable. I'm still not sure why one person got arrested or why there was a bridge or why they cut through the town, but all that doesn't matter. It's just a fun movie with some pretty good action. And for the most part you can understand what Arnold is saying. Car chase through a cornfield, hmm.

Arnie tries his best Clint Eastwood impression as a grizzled sheriff forced to hold down the fort and prevent a Mexican drug lord(what else?) from crossing the border. Like many foreign directors shooting in America, Ji-woon does occasionally show us a glimpse of the familiar from slightly odd angles, but the poor script betrays him at every turn, and the film takes entirely too long to settle into a predictable groove which the action fails to offset when it finally arrives.

Drab for an hour, and then we get some solid action, as Arnie's small town Sheriff tries to stop a drug lord with a fast car passing through his town. Shame it lacked a villain to match the charisma and screen presence of Schwarzenegger. Still, the sight of Arnie blowing away the bad guys is still one of the highlights of action cinema.

The Last Stand is a silly, over-the-top, and terribly predictable action movie starring someone who should never have returned to acting and a bunch of C-list (at best) stars fighting against a villain whose scheme seems unimportant even while we're watching the movie. Unless you, for some inexplicable reason, want to see Arnold Schwarzenegger return to the big screen after taking a decade off from leading roles, you have little reason to check out The Last Stand.

The Last Stand gets in a funk that it can't seem to get out of, even if it gives you some quality Ahnold action in the last half hour. It tries to be everything at once: self-aware comedy, b-movie action flick, thriller, homage, swan song - and unfortunately it fails on almost all accounts. Oh well.

I felt like I should skip this movie but then I noticed this on few "the most underrated movies of 2013" lists and decided to give it a go. This time my initial reaction was right. If it wasn't for Arnold this movie would have gone straight to DVD. You can add Ji-woon Kim to long list of foreign directors failing in Hollywood with b-action movies.

Surprisingly decent. I found the first hour of an excellent level, but then the last 40 minutes they sort of lost their focuss and started using all too simple oneliners and excessive and stupid action.

Bad accents spewing cliched TV episode dialogue. The action scenes make no sense at all, but it's fun watching the fumblings of one of the worst FBI agents in the history of cinema.

Man, it's an 80s-action version for "Rio Bravo". I can't help but like it.

As a big fan of Kim Ji-Woon's movies, I was excited to hear he wasn't just getting a shot in Hollywood, but getting Arnie in his first role after his political career. The movie was full of...inspired casting. Johnny Knoxville and Luis Guzman had a fun chemistry with Arnold which made for a fun first half of the movie. It's hard to say what about this movie left me cold, but I wasn't terribly impressed with the action. Perhaps I had too high hopes given Ji-Woon's last action film.

Glad Arnold's finally back but doesn't compare to his classics. Has a few good scenes like when he comes out of nowhere and runs over that guy but it is basically devoid of one liners which is what makes him a legend. Also, lol @ every minor character in this movie

I don't get all the hatred. This is a solid action flick with a solid performance from Arnie. It could have used a more charismatic villain, but I enjoyed it.

This movie was such a pleasant surprise! I had my doubts that Arnold still had it but he proved me wrong. This film has a lot of laughs and is filled with corny moments (see final chase scene). I could have done without Guzman in this but Johnny Knoxville saved some of the comedy that Guzman wasn't doing. The firefights were awesome and gory and the car chase scenes were some of the best showcasing some truly elite American vehicles in the process. Fun, mindless entertainment.

does what it says on the tin. an hour of buildup until the bullets start flying. arnold may not be fully settled in his first film after a decade away from action flicks, but he's still arnold with all his arnold charm. there are a few actually really cool moments...in particular i liked a clearly doomed badguy briefly trying to hold off the good guys while he was in the middle of a stairwell... the debut of the bus with its chaingun was great, arnold vs stormare was fun. main villain tho was eh

It isn't a very good movie by any definition, but it's kinda refreshing. I mean, I'm just glad that Schwarzenegger is back. Luis Guzman, Forest Whitaker and a couple great action scenes are just icing on the Arnold cake.

Dumb action movie, but a good one. Arnie is giving mouthfulls of dialogue that he can't quite handle at times but at least they have him playing someone from Austria. Forest Whitaker is terrible, thankfully he's not in it too much

The first half is a complete bore, developing uninteresting characters and trying frantically for a comedic tone that just isn't there. Luis Guzmán, along with most of the big names in the cast, was completely wasted. The second half actually features some kick-ass action scenes so that's good, but it's too little too late.

I don't think Arnie will be remembered for this one. He hasn't aged as well as Stallone or Willis and it shows. Other than that it's a mediocre action flick with under par acting.

This was a decent action film, I guess. I felt that the tone was a little all over the place. The stuff with Forest Whitaker was all super-serious, and the other scenes with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Johnny Knoxville and all that were pretty silly and comedic. The plot wasn't great or original, and the dialogue left something to be desired, but the direction was fine and it was harmless fun.

Kim Ji-woon's love letter to the action flicks of the late 1980s/early 90s. Yes, it's cliched and silly, but that's sort of the point. Genuinely fantastic action sequences, great cinematography, and a good dose of comedy makes this one of the best popcorn action flicks I've seen in a long time.

The last 1/3 has the fun one could fairly expect from a film like this. The first 2/3 are a disgrace. Is Forest Whitaker the worst cop in movie history?

Best Arnie fun since 'True Lies'! Fast and furious corvettes clashes with The Sheriffinator and instantly classic comic reliefs. What's not to love? "Told you not to park on the fire lane".

I'll give Ji-woon Kim that he gets the most out of a horrible script, and despite how he looked in Expendables 2, Arnie makes an -all things considered- convincing proper come-back in what henceforth shall be called: "The Corvette roadshow extravaganza starring Schwarzenegger an' friends"
