The Last castle - R1 - another recommendation

[museumsteve]

Another recommended watch that's now doing the rounds. It may not be one for everyone to keep and watch more then once but a rewarding movie - with feel good factor..

[alanrob]

Yep. I enjoyed it too.
Nice to see old Bobby Redford back on the screen.

He's a true movie star.

I too enjoyed this one, a great nights viewing. Another movie you
should check out is Donnie Darko, I watched it the other night
with some mates and we've been discussing it for days.

Nice, I've got it to watch at some point.

mieville, how the hell did you get Donnie Darko so quick?
Mines on pre order. Or shouldn't I ask?

General, I have a friend who works in the film business and he
gets preview tapes/dvds of upcoming releases. Hope you like the
film.

I saw it in the cinema and thought it was a great fun way to spend an evening.......kinda reminds me of the A-team......the whole knocking together an arsenal from grass and stones i mean!!

Hi,

Saw R2 last night of The Last Castle. Great movie, and really enjoyed the performances. James Goldalfini (not spelt right) was the standout character for me.
But dont watch the 'trailer', it gives too much away, it always seems to, when you just seen the movie, and then watch the trailer after.

Heh, I have to say this was an awful film, stereotypical american marine crap.

Cliches left, right and center, some people will like it but it was very boring and I went to bed as it sent me to sleep (which doesn't happen very often!).

[SILVERBACK]

i was expecting a far bit from this film an got nothing i thought it was just LOCK UP for the military.nothing special here at all gandolfini was ok redford to but the film.dear lord they just run out of ideas an copied everyone elses prison film lol

[Reiner]

Watched it recently on a rental DVD (R3) and must agree with raigraphixs - don't watch the trailer. As well I share the same opinion as Silverback, it was pretty close to other known prison movies.
Yet it was quite entertaining, nothing special - brains off and enjoy.

I will give it * * * 1/2 out of 5





SPOILER
because it didn't have a happy end!

I watched it a while back, have to say it was average at best. Although the soundtrack was pretty good

[James45]

yeh not too bad really, James Gandolfini was very good as was Redford.

[Stace]

It was OK!!

[betamac]

I Watched it A while ago in DivX thought it was an excellant film, would like to watch again though from a DVD to enjoy the soundtrack

[bobbles]

I picked it up today in the Virgin Sale

I enjoyed it, thought it was quite good a tad sentimental perhaps.
