Per il suo debutto americano, il talentuoso Kim Ji-woon (I saw the devil, Il buono il matto il cattivo) ha scelto di affidarsi ad uno degli immortali eroi action anni ’80. Nientemeno che l’ex governatore Arnold Schwartznegger, che nel trailer appare piuttosto imbolsito, a dir poco…
The last stand segna il suo ritorno nel ruolo di protagonista assoluto.
Action icon Arnold Schwarzenegger makes his much-anticipated return to the big screen in Korean director Kim Jee-woon’s hard-hitting US directorial debut, THE LAST STAND. After leaving his LAPD narcotics post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with remorse and regret, Sheriff Ray Owens (Schwarzenegger) moved out of Los Angeles and settled into a life fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction. But that peaceful existence is shattered when Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega), the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the western hemisphere, makes a deadly yet spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy. With the help of a fierce band of lawless mercenaries led by the icy Burrell (Peter Stormare), Cortez begins racing towards the US-Mexico border at 250 mph in a specially-outfitted Corvette ZR1 with a hostage in tow.
Nel cast anche Forest Whitaker, Genesis Rodriguez, Luis Guzman, Jaimie Alexander e Johnny Knoxville.
