The Last Castle
In a political story about surprising events. That story began with a three-star general who was sentenced militarily to a high-security military prison under very difficult circumstances. It seems that the general is dissatisfied with this injustice where he meets with 1200 prisoners to rise up against the corrupt regime that has made him far away, and may stir up a stir.

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.

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.

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

Os diálogos são ótimos, os dois antagonistas são bem desenhados e corretamente vividos por seus intérpretes, mas é uma pena que, nos últimos minutos, torne-se formulaico demais.

Bizarre, confused, sanctimonious manure.
