Critics Consensus
There's nothing particularly distinguished about it, but for Schwarzenegger fans The Last Stand provides perfectly undemanding entertainment.
Wesley Morris Grantland The weaponry is so ridiculously bountiful that the movie must be a defense against something. But it's just another lousy action movie. And for more than an hour, it's less than that. Rated: D- Jul 26, 2013 Full Review Tom Charity CNN.com The movie's tongue in cheek humor will buy off most of the target audience. And Arnie? He's indestructible. Feb 5, 2013 Full Review Anthony Lane New Yorker Schwarzenegger can still hold the screen, but these days he grinds through his one-liners like a truck driver taking a steep hill ... Feb 4, 2013 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine Hits, explosions, bullets, and catchphrases to celebrate the welcome return of the great action superhero. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/10 Jul 5, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review A movie whose only purpose is to serve as Schwarzenegger’s comeback vehicle. After this, he’ll need another comeback. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 20, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies “The Last Stand” has its share of cheesiness but intentionally so. And it’s certainly not stimulating, thought-provoking cinema, but it never pretends to be. It’s a simple, straightforward movie without an ounce of pretension and it.

Pallas K I recently watched a classic action movie featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger. It had everything you'd expect from an old-school action flick - epic shootouts, powerful guns, and speedy cars. The storyline was more interesting than your typical action movie, not overly profound but creatively executed. The usual villains attempted to flee using helicopters or planes, but this time they were chased down in a souped-up Corvette Z1. If you enjoy traditional action movies, I highly recommend giving this one a watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/24 Full Review Rifat A The Last Stand" presents a mix of action and humor, with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead. While the film delivers on the expected adrenaline-pumping sequences and showcases Schwarzenegger's enduring charisma, it falls short of leaving a lasting impression. The plot feels somewhat formulaic, and the characters lack the depth needed to fully engage the audience. Despite my meh rating, fans of classic Schwarzenegger action may find it worth a watch for the nostalgic elements, but overall, "The Last Stand" doesn't quite reach the heights of other action films in the genre. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review Steve D Knoxville is too annoying to watch. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review Daniel W 8/10 - A very kick ass action comedy film, Arnie is back. The film is a bit slow at the start but during the beginning some characters are introduced and the early scenes provide a bit of mystery about what the bad guys are trying to achieve which can be fun to figure out. As soon as the main bad guy is introduced the action pretty much does not stop. And we are shown a wide range of car chases and shoot ups that are very intense. But in between these shoot 'em up and car chase scenes there is some dialogue which does build up characters but also can be a little boring. The last act of the film is also very action packed and full of gun fights that involve all kinds of weapons from shot guns to pistols to a kick ass chain gun. There is also some comedy in these action scenes and this is sometimes funny but some of the jokes make it seem a bit less intense. The last fight between Arnold Schwarzenegger and the main bad guy also involves a good car chase and some great hand to hand combat which finishes the film off very nicely. And makes you realise that Arnold Schwarzenegger is still a good actor and this is probably one of the best films he has been the main character in since Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/29/23 Full Review Emilliano Jr S Tired of Arnold's trying hard humor. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/10/23 Full Review T. S This movie was great! A must-see action pack, older loved Arnold is here to stay. The comedic releases adds to the suspense. Don't let the boring critics sway you away from a fun film!

Synopsis Once a narcotics officer in the LAPD, Ray Owens (Arnold Schwarzenegger) has settled into a peaceful life as sheriff of Sommerton Junction, a quiet border town. But that peace is shattered when Gabriel Cortez, a vicious crime lord, escapes from FBI custody and speeds toward Ray's town with a band of mercenaries. Federal agents prepare to capture Cortez, and Ray is at first reluctant to get involved -- but he soon finds he must rally his team and take matters into his own hands.
