    A pretty good concept, I'm a Cusack fan, and I liked Åkerman more here than just about ever before. And that's it for the positives. This was awful.

  • The Last Stand 2013

    ★★★ Watched 09 May, 2013

    Lots of potential, but it kind of fizzles towards the end (it's all relative, though -- this is a really high-energy movie, even when it tails off). Some great, ridiculous kills. I think I wanted more character stuff; the deputies/townsfolk were a lot of fun but got swallowed by the action.

It's a bit unbalanced, with Tony Stark/Iron Man clearly the strongest character (who gets all the best lines), followed closely by Steve Rogers/Captain America -- with the rest of the cast feeling rather thin until the climactic battle when everyone gets to shine.

  • Lucky Number Slevin 2006
