    Unremarkable. A good idea gone to waste as all the usual prison movie cliques take over. The ending is so over the top it turns from nice idea to complete rubbish. Watch Cool Hand Luke instead!

    Spectacular entertainment. Robert Redford and James Gandolfini are magnificent. Tackeling their finest film roles yet. They make all the right moves and never missing a note. An awsome, remarkable and astonishing film. A powerful and terrific action-packed thriller. Inventive and...( read more) well crafted action sequences and riveting drama. Totally effective, gripping and ground breaking. Entertainment of the finest scale thats loaded with heart-pounding tension. It's a total complete knockout. Movies dont get better than this. It's far more than the average prison drama or military thriller. An intense, character driven, potent and intelligent adreniline rush. Stellar and emotionaly tightning. Utterlty moving and breathtaking.

    I love Gandolfini ever since I got addicted to the Sopranos. Redford is great in this....everyone is great in this.

    Excellent ! Génial ! Rien de plus. Un soldat qui renverse une prison de soldat, et ce qu'avec des mots bien placé, voilà tout !

Critic Reviews

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

The themes that ring out most loudly in the end -- some men are just born leaders; others do best if they just conform -- are numbingly retrograde. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

The Last Castle, while engrossing in parts, might have benefited from more pre-shooting talk about what makes an intriguing character -- and what makes a star performance. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

The Last Castle is not as simple as it looks, though its appeal is simple. full review

October 19, 2001
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The immediate experience of watching The Last Castle is strongly involving, and the action at the end, exciting. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today

Hefty star power is wasted in this overheated drama. full review
