#6 - The Last Stand (Film, 2013)

Summary: An escaped fugitive and cartel boss in an elaborate plan to return to Mexico across a constructed bridge and an extremely fast car races south from Las Vegas towards the peaceful town of Sommerton, where the Sheriff (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is prepared to uphold honor over restlessness on his day off to prepare a last stand against overwhelming odds and outmatched arms.

Selling Aspects: Arnold Schwarzenegger, sure to attract fans, is still kicking ass to this day and selling comedy with his age and restlessness.  Action and gun fire, criminal masterminding, fast paced car racing, emotional experiences and light comedy and romance also help sell the movie to fans.

Key Plot Element(s): Jerry, the one deputy, although silly and inexperienced, wants to get out and go where the action is, because Sommerton is peaceful and nothing will ever happen there.  When cased on the murder of a local farmer, he is all too anxious to investigate when he walks into the nest of criminals and undertakes heavy gun fire.  Although ironic that the action would come to him, it was important and necessary that he die so that the other deputies and the Sheriff are fueled with that emotional fire to uphold the last stand and win one for Jerry.

Audience: Those who enjoy action and violence in gun fights and police fights, especially older married couples and younger single guys.

Previews: A Good Day to Die Hard, Now You See Me, Red 2, Bullet To The Head
