Schwarzenegger, when he's not plowing his way through reams of semi-intelligible dialogue, proves he's still capable of firing off a few rounds and pulling broken glass out of his leg.
Full reviewArnold Schwarzenegger makes his action lead return (his first since 2002's Collateral Damage) as a lone sheriff forced to defend his sleepy border town from heavily-armed bandits. From Korean director Jee-woon Kim (I Saw the Devil), making his US feature debut.
After leaving his LAPD narcotics post following a bungled operation, Sheriff Ray Owens (Schwarzenegger) settled into a life fighting what little crime takes place in placid Sommerton Junction. That peaceful existence is shattered when Cortez (Eduardo Noriega), a notorious drug kingpin, escapes from a FBI prisoner convoy. With the help of a fierce band of lawless mercenaries, Cortez begins racing towards the US-Mexico border with a hostage in tow. His path: straight through Sommerton Junction, where the whole of the U.S. law enforcement, including Agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker) will have their final opportunity to intercept him.

Full reviewKim Jee-woon's riff on the western is an entertaining frolic back-loaded with gore and guffaws. Arnie's back!
Full reviewSorry, big guy, but making small talk with the locals at the diner just isn't you.
Full reviewKorean film-maker Kim Jee-woon gives it plenty of directorial welly, and it's good to see a film with cop cars flying through the air.
Full reviewMay not herald a full-scale reemergence for Arnold the Action Star, but it's clearly a step in that direction.
Full reviewArnold ain't all he used to be but still has a little punch left in this just passable violent action potboiler.
