‘The Last Stand’, takes centre stage
View(s):Starring Hollywood superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger, ‘The Last Stand’, a story of a small-town sheriff who becomes the last guy standing between a ruthless cartel leader and the Mexican border, will be released at Majestic cinema from Friday, January 25.
Directed by Jee-woon Kim and written by Andrew Knauer and Jeffrey Nachmanoff, the film also stars Forest Whitaker and Johnny Knoxville as the main cast.
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.
Filmed in Belen, New Mexico and Nevada and the post-production was done in Los Angeles.
