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

Wesley Morris Grantland 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. Rated: D- Jul 26, 2013 Full Review Tom Charity CNN.com The movie's tongue in cheek humor will buy off most of the target audience. And Arnie? He's indestructible. Feb 5, 2013 Full Review Anthony Lane The New Yorker Schwarzenegger can still hold the screen, but these days he grinds through his one-liners like a truck driver taking a steep hill ... Feb 4, 2013 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson "The Last Stand" is as tired and uninteresting as its star and main character. Rated: 2/5 Jul 20, 2025 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine Hits, explosions, bullets, and catchphrases to celebrate the welcome return of the great action superhero. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/10 Jul 5, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review A movie whose only purpose is to serve as Schwarzenegger’s comeback vehicle. After this, he’ll need another comeback. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 20, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Jelisije J 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/25/25 Full Review Mario J. Fun but could use more focus on Arnold. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/15/25 Full Review Raymond R 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/10/25 Full Review Jorge R Enjoyable action movie to pass the time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/10/25 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Shane O It’s a great film, Arnie is excellent , it’s your classic underdog takes on the bad guy flick . Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Read all reviews
