The Last Stand (2013)

Arnies back!!

The leader of a Mexican drug cartel Gabriel (Eduardo Noriega)  makes a daring escape from an FBI prisoner convey, he steals a high powered sports car and heads south to the border, the Police and Feds can't stop him (though shooting his tyres out or using a 'stinger' would have definitely slowed him down!), all that stands before him and freedom is the local Police of a small US town, Johnny Knoxville.....and Arnie!!

Yep, everybodys favourite 80's action man is back doing what he does best, a grizzled face, you know Arnie will kick ass. Absolute nonsense, car's wrecked every other scene, bullets fly, blood gets spilled, lots of blood that is, the whole plot is laughable but it's all great fun. Arnie could never act for toffee, he's a walking wardrobe, but who cares, Johnny Knoxville wears a hat and goggles, Forest Whitaker is black and angry, any female character is eye candy, it's all played tongue in cheek, though mostly bullet in cheek, and is a perfect Saturday might accompaniment to your beer and pizza!
