The Last Stand Movie Review

The Last Stand, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s comeback film, is an exciting movie. It may not be an award winning movie, but it delivers what it intends to deliver, which is Arnold back in action.

The movie has plot which is new in some way. An escaped drug lord goes for the border into Mexico. The thing that’s quite new is that he has already established an elaborate plan to cross the border and he drives a really fast car.

The Last Stand is a perfect comeback film for the former Governator. It is filled with tons of action and has comedy as well. When you’re talking about a Schwarzenegger film, you expect guns and a lot of no holds barred punches. Well you get them in this film and more.

Acclaimed director Jee-woon Kim brings his own unique style in making The Last Stand.  The camera movement and cinematography are perfectly implemented to suit the extreme action sequences depicted in the movie. All the angles and wide shots create a new perspective at the way we look at a Schwarzenegger film.

The cast in the film also do good work in the film. They complement each other in a funny way but is just right for the action. One of those co-stars that stand out is Jamie Alexander. She managed to show her presence at first as a newbie cop then emerged as one tough woman facing military trained men. Jamie is more than just eye candy, she is beauty with talent.

The Last Stand is a film to watch when you just want your day to have a load of action and comedy. It is fast, action packed, and has a good deal of humor. It is a good come back for Arnold and is one exciting and thrilling ride. I give it 7 out of 10.
