Watch The Last Stand For Free

Fresh and Exciting

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Ray Owens used to be part of an elite LAPD anti-narcotics task force but now he is enjoying a quieter life as a small Arizona town on the Mexican border. His peace and quiet is about to be shattered... drug lord Gabriel Cortez is being moved by the FBI but following a dramatic escape he flees south in a stolen 200MPH supercar and an FBI agent hostage. As he heads south his heavily armed associates set about placing a mobile assault bridge over the narrow canyon near Sheriff Owens's town. They kill the landowner causing somebody who misses him to contact Owens. An investigation leads to a confrontation that leaves one deputy dead. As Cortez heads to the border Owen and his surviving deputies get ready for his arrival; before that though they will have to face his henchmen in a showdown on Main Street.This action film is a lot of fun; it starts well with the spectacular escape. It then turns into an effective western as the small town sheriff and his small number of deputies prepare for the arrival of a superior force of bad guys while they know help will not arrive in time. Arnold Schwarzenegger shows that he still has what it takes to play the lead role in an action film. The supporting cast, which includes some familiar faces is also solid enough. South Korean director Kim Jee-Woon, best known for 'Oriental western' 'The Good, The Bad, The Weird' once again combines action, some of which is quite bloody, with an enjoyable degree of humour without tipping it into being a comedy. The action is nicely varied with car chases, smashing through road blocks, fights and shootouts... one of which involves Arnie using a Vickers machinegun! Overall I'd say that this is an enjoyably action film full of western tropes; it might not be a must-see but it is still worth watching if you are a fan of the genre.

Probably the stupidest movie I've seen starring a major film star since Clint Eastwood's "The Gauntlet". And that movie I managed to finish.Schwarzenegger stars as a former LAPD cop who is now the head of a small town's police force, and he overhears a conversation by some truckers which tips him off to the idea that a crime is about to be committed that his town would get involved in. It turns out that a criminal under very heavy guard is about to get busted out of police custody and flee into Mexico, and the escape route would involve passing through this town.First problem is, Schwarzenegger was a suited to play a small town policeman with his Austrian accent the way John Wayne was suited to play Genghis Khan in "The Conqueror" decades before. Also the bust-out happens via a heavy crane having been placed on the roof of a police building...which is TOO contrived. A movie can be dumb fun, but this movie was just too stupid. You'd find more intelligent entertainment in an average Three Stooges movie.

I love this movie of Arnold. It's a movie you can watch again and again many times and still love it. So cool. Arnold is still Killing it. And also the other actors. The movie is not a huge budget and big plot but rather like a episode and is perfect in that way. I've already watched it like 10-12 times in past few months.

Sad to say but The Last Stand is the first official Arnold comeback movie (considering its appearance in The Expendable franchise cameos) and the last good movie of him.All the 90s action movie vibes are pack in this one! Bad thugs with a very bad villain master, sell out female seductress, below average QI policemen, crazy car and crazy old people.A very good action 90s movie tailored to an aging Arnold.And this was not only the last stand, but the last good Arnold movie...SadSi
