Critics Consensus

There's nothing particularly distinguished about it, but for Schwarzenegger fans The Last Stand provides perfectly undemanding entertainment.

D-

The weaponry is so ridiculously bountiful that the movie must be a defense against something. But it's just another lousy action movie. And for more than an hour, it's less than that.

The movie's tongue in cheek humor will buy off most of the target audience. And Arnie? He's indestructible.

Schwarzenegger can still hold the screen, but these days he grinds through his one-liners like a truck driver taking a steep hill ...

"The Last Stand" is as tired and uninteresting as its star and main character.

A movie whose only purpose is to serve as Schwarzenegger’s comeback vehicle. After this, he’ll need another comeback.

Very violent. Turned it on after it already started and couldn't stop watching it until it ended.

A corny throwback to Arnold glory days as an action star with a below average cast that can't make this mediocre story any better than it was actually written.

Fun but could use more focus on Arnold.

The Last Stand is on par with Arnold's other films, and I loved it! As with all his action based movies, no one cares about the plot. We're just there for action. I will say, I was pleasantly surprised by the faces that showed up, including the sexy Jaime Alexander. Loved the cast and loved the action.

It's a good and pretty simple action movie, not too over the top and not trash, I'd recommend watching to see what you'd think about it, but me? I love it, It's what most movies need nowadays, not an extremely complicated storyline that can be easily messed up and not a boring one, also Arnold's acting was also great as usual.
