Watch The Last Patrol For Free

Such a frustrating disappointment

Just perfect...

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.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

US Army Captain Nick Preston (Dolph Lundgren) is a relic left over from previous wars. He is left in Fort Edenberg, a military junkyard. Then an earthquake measuring 9.5 hits and California is separated from the U.S. Preston, Marine Sergeant Lucky Simcoe and Air Force Captain Sarah McBride are the only survivors on the base. They are joined by a disparate collection of civilians. There is an epidemic called Q Fever. There is a shortage of water. The prisoners at Nanwong have taken over led by Jesus Carrera.This is a bad B-movie even considering its intent. The apocalyptic world is just cobbled together with random problems. I don't know what a plague has to do with an earthquake. Even a 9.5 wouldn't turn the world into a dystopia. Dolph Lundgren is not the best actor but he tries. There is some action but it's not shot well. This is a low grade B-movie no matter how you add it up.

The idea for this movie is quite interesting. It could be an interesting science fiction movie set in post apocalyptic world . Unfortunately it's not. From what I've heard the movie makers had very small budget . So small that they struggled to finish this movie . A movie with low budget doesn't necessary has to suck . This one is bad. REALLY BAD.When you don't have money you can always impress the audience with other things : acting , dialogue , plot … "The Last patrol" is poor not only with production values. It's an action movie with no action ! The first fight happens here after 1 hour and 10 minutes ! That's right . Before Lundgren will hit and kick someone you will have to wait 1 hour and 10 minutes . The last 20 minutes of movie are "intense" – we have one shootout , 5 kicks , 7 punches and 1 explosion (not too impressive) . That's all you get after suffering 1 hour and 10 minutes of boredom. And some pseudo-intellectual dialogue about faith. Admit it – that's not the reason you watch action movie , especially with Dolph Lundgren.So what's happening before the " big climax" ? Nothing . We are introduced to characters we couldn't care less about . To be honest if it wasn't for Lundgren I would swear I was watching some idiotic comedy . I guess they wanted to make a drama about people trying to survive in a destroyed world . I don't understand why they filled the movie with characters that could easily appear in "Police academy" – the milkman , the dragged couple , the pseudo-Indian , the dumb blonde girl , the macho soldier . There is a big twist involving Lundgren's past – I don't understand what was so traumatic in it . Seriously . I laughed so hard when the movie revealed his big secret . I expected something dark and heartbreaking , while it was all about a … simple talk. One meeting with black woman and children changed his life so much he had nightmares . It feels odd at best.I have to point three dues ex machine plot solutions – one with the earthquake , second with the explosion and third with the rain. And the magical "saved from the death".I also have to point that the movie drags all the time . It's boring like HELL . There is no interesting dialogue or good acting. "The Last Patrol" is the definition of words : dull and lifeless. And stupid.I give it 1/10.

A 9.5-level earthquake struck California, turning it into an island. The survivors living in this harsh new reality refer to it as "A.E." or, "After Earthquake". Army Captain Nick Preston (Dolph) visits a junkyard inhabited by Army lady McBride (Alexander), a man named Lucky Simcoe (Burke) and his perky but somewhat annoying wife Candy (Cross). They all must learn to get along, as well as dodge pitfalls like a disease that causes large, moving boils on your skin, and an insane prisoner (Juliano Mer). Meanwhile, Preston wants to save a bus filled with children led by a woman named Rainbow (Parker), who may or may not have the ability to make it rain. Perhaps she should avoid the post-apocalyptic strip clubs. What will become of these people? Starting with some narration by Dolph which explains nothing really, we realize we are in for a run-of-the-mill post-apocalypse slog. It seems, in retrospect, that The Last Warrior was doomed from the start, as a. it was shot during a period when Dolph was hitting the skids, b. It's a Nu-Image production from the same period, c. It's rated PG-13 so you know nothing REALLY awesome is going to happen, and d. It's a talky low-budget drag with minimal locations.What this SHOULD be is Dolph doing Mad Max (done the right way) - He should be a true "Last Warrior" who fights baddies violently and on his own terms. Instead, it's a boring production about an encampment filled with annoying characters who you can't possibly care about spouting pseudo-funny dialogue. Solely the strong presence of Dolph keeps this movie from Iron Thunder (1998) territory, although a more accurate comparison might be to Digital Man (1995), a similar desert-set "ensemble" film.Director Lettich, who is known for his Van Damme (or Daniel Bernhardt, same difference) productions, shot this in Israel, also where he shot the JCVD vehicle The Order (2001). While that is interesting, the bottom line is that The Last Warrior adds nothing to the genre. But the real crime is its dearth of action. This truly is a case of a movie needing less talk, more rock. Instead of talking our ears off, Dolph should be making a necklace of them.Nothing happens in this babyish waste of Dolph. It's one of his worst movies, easily the equal to Agent Red (2000) in terms of audience letdown. The Last Warrior is for Dolph completists only.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

Out of all the lame action stars the 80's an 90's brought to us, there's one that will always remain my favorite: Dolph Lundgren. This movie is a classic Dolph film. When was the last time Arnie threw a brick at a guys face? 1985? Last I heard, he was working on Jingle All the Way 2. Dolph stayed in great shape for his age, and delivers the melodrama and unreal action that has made me like action heroes ever since I was a kid. It's this type of movie that reminds me of when Action heroes were tough. Guys like Micheal Dudikoff, Chris Christopherson, and Dolph Lundgren made good films that didn't need a bunch of cookie cutter acting. Guys like Stallone and Arnie needed to prove they could act for some reason. Leave acting to the actors and leave action to the men.
