Wasn’t there some movie with Arnold who becomes a sheriff and ends up duking it out with some cartel? Oh well, this sounds very similar. I originally thought the movie was a sequel to Nobody, but it seems to take a slight zag.
It sounds like the kind of thing designed for Xers and Millennials who saw these kinds of movies in the 90s and early 00s. Blockbuster (remember them?) was chockfull of them. Gosh, so many aging action stars could sleepwalk through these movies and earn a cool few million each time.
Now, this all has to be approached ironically, which gets tiring fast. An earnest movie at this point would actually be a little different. Still, there needs to be something else. Korea seems to have figured it out, usually adding some more character work or social commentary. We’ve lost our way here in the States and it’s all pretty mediocre.
Yep 2012's The Last Stand- that one was even more ridiculous in that the cartel boss - who happened to be a world class race car driver- was going to escape from federal custody, steal a suped-up car and race for the border without even stopping at Taco Bell! It was dumb but still entertaining. Ha!
