The Last Stand

Arnold in his first leading role since T3, exactly 10 years earlier. This outing rebirths the type of movie that faded in the last-'80s/early-'90s, where the plot is merely a bridge between actions sequences. Schwarzenegger plays Ray Owens, the sheriff of a small-town in Arizona, retired from the LAPD, but for an unexplained reason has an Austrian accent. Anyway, bad guys are going to use his town as a route for the border, and… well… that's about it. The supporting cast isn't too bad: Knoxville and Guzman are fun; and Stormare is always great. However, Whitaker is quite useless and everyone else is unfortunately forgettable. Still, a movie of this caliber doesn't get made too much anymore, and despite its flaws, it's still better than a lot of other films of its genre.
