Last Stand (2012)

Other then cameo roles in the first two Expendables movies Last Stand  constituted Arnold Schwarzenegger's return to film after serving 7 years as the governor of California. It's a pretty standard actioner, with Schwarzenegger as a small town Arizona sheriff whose small force assembles to stop a drug kingpin, who is escaping the FBI to Mexico in a super charged sports car. There's a lot of set up to the thing, and I would say too much time is spent with Forest Whitaker;s FBI crew. Much of the film is kind of slog until the last 30 or 40  minutes which contains a pretty entertaining standoff in the small towns main street, I would recommend watching that part and skipping the set up. **
