The Last Stand Reviews

Movie Reviews

• this is a movie content with just being good, old-fashioned fun

  by Mark Olsen [LA Times ]

• there's still nothing of particular interest here

  by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]

• The Last Stand will not be Schwarzenegger's last. For better or for worse (and this is somewhere right in the middle), he is back

  by Steven Rea [Philadelphia Inquirer ]

• that does exactly what it should: It leaves us wanting more

  by Scott Foundas [Village Voice ]

• it takes everything and nothing seriously, depending on what the filmmakers think they can get away with at any given moment, and the result, while not painful to watch, is ridiculous

  by Mick LaSalle [San Francisco Chronicle ]

• it aspires instead to simply be a great example of classical genre filmmaking, a modest but nevertheless admirable goal

  by Calum Marsh [Slant Magazine ]

• is such a false start, it could terminate Schwarzenegger's comeback before it begins

  by Joe Williams [St. Louis Post-Dispatch ]

• director Kim Jee-woon fails to dazzle with the endless speeding-car sequences, but that 60-second flourish during a lengthy firefight is almost worth the tedium

  by Neil Genzlinger [NY Times ]

• Arnold ain't all he used to be but still has a little punch left in this just passable violent action potboiler

  by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter ]

• antique formula, meet antique action star. This dino is indeed extinct, and only he doesn't seem to know it

  by Soren Andersen [Seattle Times ]

• an unpretentious, invigorating action flick that's extra-enjoyable whenever Arnold Schwarzenegger is on the screen demonstrating his flair for self-parody

  by Colin Covert [Minneapolis Star Tribune ]

• a creaky but reasonably commercial comeback bid

  by Justin Chang [Variety ]
• Reviewed by Peter Howell [Toronto Star ]
