Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Robert J. Maxwell It isn't so much that Schwarzenegger is older. After all, that happens to all of us, and in fact his wrinkles and slightly gargled voice give him a certain amount of character that was missing from his earlier efforts. The chief problem is that he shows no more acting skills here than he did twety years ago. He's not helped at all by the script, which has him and a few small-time comrades throwing up a barricade against the forces of evil -- in this case a notorious drug kingpin and his army of ugly goons -- who are about to attack Arnold and the small town of which he is sheriff, in order to escape into Mexico. Guess who wins the final battle.I always thought he was a decent governor.
Ricky112101 This movie is exactly what it should be. A fun and exciting action movie. This particular film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jaimie Alexander, and Johnny Knoxville. The film is set in a small southern Arizona town where nothing ever happens, but when a group of strangers arrives in town, some weird things start to happen. It starts with the murder of a local farmer, which then escalates into a shootout on the outskirts of town which results in the death of a deputy. Turns out, a drug kingpin escaped the feds in Las Vegas, Nevada and is on his way to Mexico, and just so happens he plans on crossing the border in this Arizona town, and it is up to Schwarzenegger's team to stop him. A ton of action and races makes this a very enjoyable film. Arnold and Jaimie were great, and so was the rest of the cast (Forest Whitaker, Peter Stormare, etc.). I would give this film an 8/10.
merem1 A good time for Schwarzenegger fans. The action is excellent. I liked the characters. The film moves along at a good pace. The film has a satisfying finale. The car in the film, that Corvette ZR1. That car is beautiful. I like the idea of the film about a drug lord trying to escape across the border and a small town sheriff bringing his friends together to make a last stand to stop him while dealing with a gang of mercenaries.
Per Johnsen Either if this film is made solely to make a comeback for Arnold Schwarzenegger or simply to tickle the sense of low brow humor of twelve year old boys and rob them for their allowance, it's not working, and I'm happy to know it didn't make it at the box office. And, what is a brilliant actor like Forest Whitaker doing in this film, trying to soil his career? The only reason for him and several top actors to participate in this non sense, must be to pay Arnold some kind of tribute or/and that they got payed loads. And that's mainly what this is, loads of a lot of nothing, stuffed with old "clichés", actors asked to make bad and boring lines funny, when the only result is an annoying embarrassment. I was about to give it 2, only because the "entré" of Forest Whitaker all of a sudden gave me hope, but even he blew it. If this is supposed to be Arnold's last stand, then let's hope it is.
