The Last Stand, 2013. A small town sheriff takes on an escaped fugitive's small army.

Directed by Jee-woon Kim. Written by Andrew Knauer, Jeffrey Nachmanoff & George Nolfi; story by Knauer. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 1/4 (Bad)
Dialog: 0/4 (Terrible)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 1/4 (Bad)
Music: 1/4 (Bad)
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, 2/4). I had fun, I guess. I was hoping for 80's Arnold (who could chew up a terrible script like this and spit out a masterpiece like Commando), but this is 90's Arnold. It's funny when it means to be exciting, embarrassing when it means to be funny, and boring when it means to be dramatic. Oh, well.
Objective Rating (Average): 1.6/4 (Eh)
