Arnold Schwarzenegger lässt in The Last Stand unter I Saw The Devil, A Bittersweet Life und The Good, The Bad & The Weird Regisseur Kim Ji-Woon mal wieder richtig die Puppen tanzen. Erfreulicherweise nimmt sich unser Arnie (der mich optisch übrigens immer mehr an Clint Eastwood erinnert) als Dorfsheriff vor dem Ruhestand, der mit frischen Kollegen einen fliehenden Drogenbbaron aufhalten muss, hier selbst nicht so ernst ohne ins klamautige abzurutschen. Ich bin mal gespannt, wie sich einer meiner koreanischen Lieblingsregisseure in Hollywood durchsetzen konnte.

The Last Stand startet am 17. Januar 2013 in den deutschen Kinos.
Synopsis:

Sheriff Owens is a man who has resigned himself to a life of fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction after leaving his LAPD post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with failure and defeat after his partner was crippled. After a spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy, the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the hemisphere is hurtling toward the border at 200 mph in a specially outfitted car with a hostage and a fierce army of gang members. He is headed, it turns out, straight for Summerton Junction, where the whole of U.S. law enforcement will have their last opportunity to make a stand and intercept him before he slips across the border forever. At first reluctant to become involved, and then counted out because of the perceived ineptitude of his small town force, Owens ultimately accepts responsibility for the face off.
