Movie Review-- The Last Castle


The Last Castle

Genre: Action/Drama

Summary: A decorated general incarcerated in a military prison is forced into leading the inmates against a delusional warden.

My grade: %86

Pros:

  • A well-crafted story that brings out gritty questions.

  • I appreciate the portayal of civil disobedience. The general hesitated until to not disobey may cause greater evil. A hard issue, but well protrayed.

Cons:


  • The typical military language.

  • I'm not sure Robert Redford is convincing as a general.

  • The family aspect of the general's life contirbuted little to the story.
