The Last Stand [2013]

[Kamal]

Arnold Schwarzenegger's dying attempts at a comeback into the limelight, highlighting a cliched and pathetic plot of chasing an escaped Latino drug-lord that was directed by a sober Asian director. Only thing worse would have been Arnold dying on the set. And to add to the idiocity that was this movie, they have Johnny Knoxville as a gun-loving museum curator. Between him and Jennifer Lopez in Parker, I can't decide which of the two was a more useless pick.

Give it a miserable 2/10

Arnie's turning so old and his "I-don't-give-a-fuck-anymore" attitude is so well set in his psyche, he stopped combing his hair and pickin his boogers through this movie.

I didn't think it was that bad a film - it's a throwback to his b-movie 80's rise to glory that he did after he did the first Terminator and before he started to hit his stride with Predator. The director is a Korean director who did some really, really good films back in his native country - I Saw The Devil and A Bittersweet Life (both of which I highly recommend - the first is a serial killer yarn where the tables are turned, the second a star crossed lovers mobster story).

It's an incredibly silly film, but I really admired their commitment to the silliness and over the top violence and action sequences. I kind of took it the way I looked at Grindhouse's Planet Terror, but with less of a winking eye and homage to John Carpenter
