FAM Movie review : The Last Stand ( 2013 )
Director : Ji-yong Kim
Our rating : 8/10
After all he is back with a bang , the great Mr.Olympia. Yes , he is Old , lost his muscle and yes he is no more fast but still he has his style and wow it was just fun watching this big guy Arnold Schwarzenegger ( as Ray Owens ) on the screen . As a Sheriff of a less populated Town and once a aggressive officer but now a calm peace loving guy arnold comes in as a very normal silent guy . But fate brings him in path of a most notorious kingpin escape convict , a death row inmate who is on run from FBI and that he happen to cross Ray's town inorder to escape to mexico . The problem is none able to stop Eduardo Noriega ( as Gabriel Cortez ) from escaping , he choose to drive off road on his specially designed car crossing 200kmph and with his counterparts who is helping him by clearing out any obstacle enroute even if necessary to kill anyone who is blocking his path. So with no help from FBI or Swat team and with very little time Ray has to stop gabriel from escaping to mexico , its just how he manages to stop gabriel with his little police force joined by Mike , Sam . sarah and lewis and how he makes his Last Stand to retrict the convit from escaping is all the story is about. Especially when arnold says , i wont let this guy go through my town without a fight will give you the goosebumps you need.
It was just awesome to see Arnold back again with the Big guns and on the wheels chasing down the convict .Luis Guzman as Mike was just fun watching him , he keeps us entertaining with his own style and you will not stop laughing every-time you see him on the screen. The Escape Convict Gabriel and his friend Peter Stormare ( Burrell ) were just excellent and add up beautifully to the movie. Screenplay was awesome and no where you would feel the slowness in the movie and camerawork was wonderful too with those car chase and escape scene was beautifully made , especially when gabriel take on the Swat team vehicle was damn good. The Last fight of Arnold with Gabriel on a bridge was superb and cant expect a perfect finish to such a wonderful movie and his dialogue at the end " My Honesty is not for sale " its jut wooooow . Sure Ji-yong Kim deserves a applause of making a very good Action packed entertainer and sure he has given his best
FAM Punch Line : Any action Movie lovers and Arnold Fans , dare not miss this movie. You will be stunned.
