I can't find a thread about this film so I thought I'd start one.
Has anyone seen Arnold Schwarzenegger's latest film about a group of DEA agents....................................................?
I thought it was pretty entertaining overall, although it did drag in the middle slightly, for reasons that are probably necessary due to the plot.
It had a very good twist in the end, although the very end is a little far fetched & silly.
Not a bad film & will appeal to anyone who's enjoyed any of Arnie's comeback films, like I have.

Arnie was great as usual but he really looks his age in this.
Also I definitely recognised the storyline from somewhere. I assumed it as a remake of something but it doesn't mention it any of the reviews.
Yeah it seemed like it was too good not to have been used before..
Agreed, Arnie is looking very old these days.
Ironically, this is the first of his comeback films that he hasn't alluded to his old age, even if he looked older than I've ever seem him in a film.
It's nasty, dirty, filthy, grimy, mean and horrible and there is not one likeable character in the whole film. It's great Arnie's trying something new like this and a bit different but overall he doesn't convince. The ending is completely ridiculous.
The best characters in the film are actually the two females played by Olivia Williams and Mireille Eros but that's not saying much. Hats off to Eros though for playing a drug addicted crazy, psycho, superbitch; her performance is a blast!
How the hell this got a 15 certificate i have no idea! t's extremely violent, contains heavy blood, guts and gore including torture and honestly should have been a 18. One of the most violent films i've seen in the cinema in a very long time. The Raid 2 is nothing compared to this.
I expected better from David Ayer (wrote Training Day, wrote and directed Harsh Times, wrote and directed End of Watch) but ultimately it was disappointing.
My favourite Arnie comeback film so far is The Last Stand. Very under-rated.
Dreadful.
It started off ok and showed some promise. As others said, it clearly dragged in the middle then the 'twist', if you can call it that, was just ridiculous with just as a ridiculous ending. Cant believe it's from the same guy who did Training Day and directed End of Watch. Although to be fair, Training Day never grabbed me as I just wasn't convinced with Denzels performance. End of Watch on the other hand was good.
Mirelle was great though. The rest of the cast seemed like a load of Hollywood outcasts that got a bit too big for their boots (Perrineau and Howard spring to mind straight away).
Odd film. Could've been so much better, really quite easily.
Poor script.
Was it filmed in a particular way as the cameras kept moving quickly?
