The Last Castle
The story tells of a three-star general who was tried by a military court and sentenced to a high-security military prison. Perhaps this verdict would upset the balance of the prisons and provoke a fuss with these prisoners, where he meets with 1,200 prisoners to rise up against the corrupt regime that has made him away.

Os diálogos são ótimos, os dois antagonistas são bem desenhados e corretamente vividos por seus intérpretes, mas é uma pena que, nos últimos minutos, torne-se formulaico demais.

The themes that ring out most loudly in the end -- some men are just born leaders; others do best if they just conform -- are numbingly retrograde.

Robert Redford's military prison drama contains cruel and unusual punishment -- for the audience.

Devolves into a mundane warden-versus-inmate conclusion.

The Last Castle, while engrossing in parts, might have benefited from more pre-shooting talk about what makes an intriguing character -- and what makes a star performance.

Bizarre, confused, sanctimonious manure.
June 03, 2011
A dull, borderline inept action-prison drama, in which lead star Robert Redford is totally wasted.
