DVD Reviews of The Last Castle
DVD Review: The True Meaning of Heroism
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is riveting and entertaining. The violence is a bit much for those uder 14; however, it is a worthwhile buy and a certain winner for those who love heroe flicks.DVD Review: a review about kinderguardners.
Summary: 4 Stars
It's like the longest yard except with dingalings and maffiaso instead of footballs. Robert Redford did a good job of dying at the end. All the weiners in the movie were applaudable. The bridge over the kiwi river was rebuilt even stronger tha ever with the help of the guards who were tired of their team captain. DVD Review: - A patriotic film...
Summary: 5 Stars
The Last Castle is a movie that brings back feelings of patriotism and respect for the worth of the individual. The cast of characters is superb with Robert Redford playing the part of a three star general who knows he has done wrong by challenging presidential authority and is sentenced to serve time in military prison run by a prison warden, played by James Gandolfini, who has power but is not a leader of men.
The two clash and soon they are involved in a war. While Robert Redford wanted to serve his time in peace and in the solitude of his cell, the events that take place surface his true character and a leader at heart; he is soon fighting injustice and protecting the rule of law.
The drama that ensues captured our spirit and we found ourselves enraptured by the characters, as one by one of the men regain their self-esteem and their purpose as soldiers.
The balance between justice and injustice, between honesty and betrayal, between leadership and cowardice is simply superb. As with all DVDs, this one has extra features and we were delighted to learn all about how the movie was made, how some of the actors were playing their first roles and how much they appreciated to be acting with the likes of Robert Redford, one of the best actors of our time. A patriotic film to be thoroughly enjoyed.
DVD Review: Leadership, Strategy, and Morality
Summary: 5 Stars
While this movies suffices for "just entertainment" because of the ability of the actors, any viewer who takes the time to delve into the nuances presented is likely to find it thought-provoking and worthy of discussion. We enjoy this movie on a personal level -- and watch it at least once a year -- but have also used it in management training classes. It deserves viewing with an analytical eye and thoughtful mind. Check beneath the surface and think about the issues and the dynamics of the group/organization/leaders/players/etc.DVD Review: Lousy Movie
Summary: 2 Stars
The quality of the video is very good, and the acting is good, but the story itself is dopey. The way the prisoners take over the prison at the end defies reality. Where did all the weapons come from? How could the takeover have been planned to such precision and in such a short time? The whole thing is ridiculous. Waste of time. I prefer stories that make sense.
Description of The Last Castle
The Last Castle rides high on a wave of American patriotism, respectful of military service and protocol, and primed to ignite anyone's passion for justice against corrupted ideals. This intense prison drama begins when a court-martialed three-star general (Robert Redford) is sentenced to military prison for defying a presidential command. The prison's warden (James Gandolfini) is a jealous martinet who's never seen combat, and when the jailed general seizes command of the prison to protest the warden's abuse of power, The Last Castle erupts toward a classic showdown between integrity and cowardice. Former critic and West Point graduate Rod Lurie (The Contender) directs this intimate battle with manipulative skill, appealing more to emotions than intelligence, but his stellar cast keeps the action on track, and a potent script returns flag-waving to its rightful place of honor. --Jeff ShannonGeneral DVDs
