Your average popcorn movie, featuring cars, guns and bigger guns. All the characters are one-dimensional; even Forest Whittaker can't make an impression. I don't understand why a celebrated Korean director would agree to make this film. 7/10 if you're a fan of Schwarzenegger.

An exhilarating, gory and absolutely hilarious movie. A blast from start to finish!

It was awesome. The coop was the best I ever seen.

"Bring the pain... Ray" (best line of the movie)!! Lots of B grade acting. Arnold is a little rusty. Johnny Knoxville is really hoakie, but the villains make up for it. If you measure success in cliché's and number of rounds spent to make a movie than you'll like this. If youre looking for the next oscar Nominee, find something else. Not bad considering Arnold has been out of the game for so long.

This is a fun movie and I went just to see Arnie. He played up the 'old' thing quite a bit, and it was amusing. The entire movie was mildly amusing. But there isn't anything unexpected in this film, the laughs are what are anticipated and in the spots expected so it's predictable. But that, likely, isn't the point about seeing this film. It's more for Schwarzenegger. He's made serious/comedies before and this is another one. I have to say, though, regarding his body of work, I've preferred him most as a robot.

Very stupid, like a twelve-year-old's attempt to write a generic action movie. Many of the actors were obviously just collecting a paycheque, including Forest Whitaker in far and away the worst performance of his career. It's at least never boring, and has some dumb laughs toward the end.

Well made and really enjoyable! A really good come back for Schwarzenegger!

Brutal violence. I'm amazed more people aren't turned off by it, but I'm old-fashioned. No one cares. Just because it's an action movie doesn't mean we need to see people's heads explode. I don't, anyway. I walked. It's not entertaining, it's sick (especially with the gun massacres in the US nowadays) And the acting was terrible, especially Forrest Whittaker. Love Johnny Knoxville - get him into something good, please!

ArnOLD is back! Not a bad movie, not good either. Could have made a much more exciting comeback movie with this king of a star!

This movie was very entertaining. It had action, drama and comedy. I have always been an Arnold fan and was glad to see he has not lost his touch!

I never as far as I remember walkout of a movie until now. Big fan of Arnold but this movie is garbage. I was hoping for something similar to The Expendable 2 with the cheesy lines and bucket of blood. This movie fails to deliver.

A great recipe with a few missing ingredients. This was a flop for the return of the greatest action star to ever hold a gun. The climax is a huge let down as well as the cast. An A for effort but when this is by far Arnold's worst movie, it says a lot. [Except] for 'Junior' I haven't witnessed that [...] film, the premise frightened me.

If you like the Expendables or Jackass or better still both, you will like this movie. It's fun like that.

Arnold's back. True action is back. Enough said.

Yesss the movie is not too realistic to what might happen in real life, but that's why we go to the movies to see this kind of farfetched stuff... So we can Escape and forget our doldrums lives for a couple of hour and be laugh. If I want reality I watch news or a documentary. I want entertainment and laughter I watch Arnold. This movie delivers big time. Go see it!

Friggin funny, Luiz Guzman and Johnny Knoxville make you die of laughing.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Everything about it just wrong. Guys with names like "Jay Owens" do not have heavy Austrian accents. Cars do not pivot 180 degrees on the highway and drive backwards. Bullets do not knock people flying when they get hit. I could go on, but you get the drift. It wasn't supposed to be anything other than what it was, but I still think they could have made it just a little more interesting. Fortunately, I like guns, fast cars, and Arnold so I'm really not complaining.

I don't think it is the best movie Arnie has been in, but it is the best since he returned to movies. There are a lot of holes in the script and sometimes the story seems a little over the top and cartoonish. But if you like Schwarzenegger you will enjoy the movie.

The story moves at a good pace. Decent character development. Good acting. A few surprises. What more can you ask for? Arnold is back!

What is most apparent from watching the Last Stand is that Arnold has aged quite a bit. Yet what this film proves is that he can still brandish a shotgun or a 44 magnum with the best of them and can still deliver a pretty damn entertaining action movie in the process. Yes its incredibly silly, with inane dialogue to boot but the action does deliver the goods and Arnold is as charming and fun to watch as he ever was, proving that he hasn't forgotten how to give his audience what it wants.

First of all, this genre, mindless action/kill movies have been done to death by american movie makers. Even so called A movies, like Gangster Squad, are so poorly made, trying to cash in on this genre (violent shoot-em ups), that it took a Korean Director to bring back this entertaining genre. The story is simple enough but the script is tight, especially the Schwarzenegger character. Yes, I know he is not much of an actor, but so does the director know this and he has him played as a very quiet, understated man who really is quite boring, just as a US sherrif in a small town might be. An american director would have Bruce Willis in this role or Sly Stallone as wise cracking over the top hero. The jailbreak is quite clever and believable (when was the last time you could say something like that) and the bad guys were truly bad guys, worthy of a good fight. I found it very entertaining. North Americans have finally caught onto the Korean's abilities to make good movies and are beginning to cash in. The 2001 Joon Park version of OLD BOY is about to be redone by Spike Lee starring Josh Brolin. This original version is so good, that a remake has got to be good as well. Story is still the answer, something american filmmakers have long forgotten.

Not much suspense, very predictable. The only thing really good about it was the car.

It is not a great art movie. Come on! But... if you would like to entertain yourself for a couple of hours and leave in good mood, besides all the gunshots and the bloodshed, go see this movie. I would classify it as an action comedy rather than an action thriller. Good, old, non-talented Arnie and Luis Guzmán, are hilarious! Every time they say something they make you laugh hard! I liked this movie! It made my evening!

I enjoyed it. Mindless fun. Some action, some humour, and not too long.

Welcome back Arnold! Great action flick... Also enjoyed that funny jackass Johnny Knoxville.

That's a generous 7. Another reviewer said Arny needs his embalming fluid changed. He does and he is about a quart or so low. Typical Arnold movie that Johnny Knoxville almost ruins. For fans it is, however, a must see and the audience seemed to get a kick out of it even though towards the end it does get really "corny".

I didn't expect much so it was an o. k. action flick. My favourite part was Jose Guzeman as he was hilarious. Sadly, you could see Arnold's aging especially with the close up and some of the action scenes where he was a bit slow.

Welcome back Arnold!!! Great, fun movie, and everyone was laughing hard.

Awesome movie, action and comedy...

So I'm a big, long time Arny fan first of all and that buys some cred with me on purely sentimental grounds. That said, the first 1 hour and 25 minutes play much like an average small town cop drama made for TV, almost completely devoid of anything remarkable, including my buddy Arny's attempts at a fairly serious bit of drama, not a strength for him to be sure. HOWEVER, I can see why this director is fairly highly regarded because the last 25 minutes of action were pretty fantastic, harnessing Arny's best movie qualities to full effect. Those last 25 minutes are quite funny, wild and just plain good old fashioned fun! The entire cast was full value and Arny was certainly a tad weak, until he was just flat out fantastic when the action heated up. I particularly loved that when creating a mano a mano situation for Arny, his age was taken into account fairly appropriately so as to not make him look like a goof. Twenty years my senior I know I'd still like my odds trying to run past that big bugger better than trying to take him down... lol All in all a mixed bag, but worth it if you're nostalgic for the big goon as I admittedly am.
