"I am the sheriff"
Love him or hate him, there is no denying that Arnold Schwarzenegger is the king of action movie one-liners. Although you can catch him in Expendable 2 starting today, his first real starring role in a movie since his return to film won't come until Janurary 2013 when The Last Stand comes out.
The Last Stand looks like a pretty generic action movie from what we can see in the trailer, with Arnold playing a sheriff in a town along the border. When that town comes under siege from a drug cartel, its up to Arnold to stop them from getting through into America. It also appears that Arnold may try to play his character with a little more depth and emotion than we are used to from him. Whether that will really comes across well on the screen has yet to be determined though. For big fans of the Governator or generic action movies The Last Stand will be for you, but I don't think it will provide much beyond that.
As a side note, another Arnold movie in development that I think has a lot more promise than The Last Stand is a movie called The Tomb. No its not an Indiana Jones rip-off, it actually has Arnold as a prisoner in a supermax prison which is on a freighter floating out in the middle of the ocean who must team up with Sylvester Stallone, the designer of the prison, when Stallone's character is wrongly incarcerated in the prison he designed. Jim Caviezel plays the hardened prison warden who tries to thwart their plans. Below is the first set photo from The Tomb showing Arnold and Stallone in costume.
Look for The Last Stand January 18, 2013 and The Tomb on a TBD release date in 2013.
