Duration:

The
plot of The Last Stand revolves
around Ray Owens (Arnold Schwarzenegger) former LAPD and now a Sheriff in a
small town of Sommerton Junction, which is one of the borders states to
Mexico.
Ray
Owens and his team, Deputy Mike Figuerola (Luis Guzman), Lewis Dinkum (Johnny),
Deputy Jerry Bailey (Zach) and Deputy Sarah Torrance (Jaimie Alexander) gets
into action when they come to know that a bunch of people are trying to build a
bridge connecting the Sommerton Junction & Mexico.
Cut
to plot shifts to Las Vegas where in the FBI are shifting the international
drug lord Gabriel Cortez (Edurado Noriega) who sleekly escapes and speeds off
in a modified Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1, taking Agent Ellen Richards (Génesis
Rodríguez) as his hostage.
FBI
under the Agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker), does several attempts to
bring down Gabriel Cortez which goes in vain. Story unfolds when FBI & Ray
Owens discovers that bridge connecting the Sommerton Junction & Mexico is
nothing but the escape route for Gabriel Cortez.
It
all comes down to Ray Owens and his team who have to prevent this happening.
Can they do it is something which one has to see it in the theater.
Coming
to the merits of the movie I cannot say it is one of the greatest movies made
but definitely it is not bad either. It is that kind of movie where in you feel
content leaving the theater. You get to see Arnold in a much more sublime way
which is contrary to his previous flicks. But Kim Ji-Woon made sure that Arnold
Fans get what they expect i.e some hardcore rugged action and his best one
liners.
The
last sequence on cars, the fight over the bridge and dialogues like 1. “I have
seen enough blood in my life” 2. “My honor is not for sale” and his trade mark
one 3. “The sheriff is back” just stands out.
Lastly,
I would to like say that The Last Stand is something which you can stand on and
would not regret it.
Rating: 3/5
