It's hard to escape the feeling that The Last Stand was greenlit to go after the market cornered by a certain fast and furious franchise: explosions plus fast cars. Small-town police chief Ray Owens (Arnold Schwarzenegger) faces off against Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega), a cartel head who intends to use Owens' sleepy town as his exit into Mexico. To get there he's stolen a prototype supercar...

The players are caricatures, but that's part of the charm; it's a B-movie with A production values. It's an enjoyable combination of bombastic melodrama and ultraviolence, like a telenovela by way of John Woo. Not good, but a good effortless filler.
