Not just another prison film
By nickj007 from worcs , 24 Nov 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
I thought that this might be just another prison film (my partner has some weird interest in all prison films!), but this was genuinely enjoyable, with some good action for the boys, and more thoughtful moments along the way for the girls too. I would say that this has been somewhat overlooked as a decent film for any night in. Go for it!

(22)Shades of the Shawshank Redemption
By JanieABZ (9 reviews) , 08 Jun 2012Showing Robert Redford at his best, The Last Castle is set in a modern day military prison. It is a tale of leadership, courage and ultimately redemption.
The characters are memorable and well drawn. Ordinary people can be brutalised by power, but we also see how trust and faith can draw out the best from those who have been broken.
Although there are shades of the Shawshank Redemption which was a classic with universal appeal, The Last Castle is marred slightly for me by jingoistic American themes.
Overall, it was thought provoking and worth watching. I would definitely recommend it.- Was this review helpful to you?

An amazing film from start to finish

The Last Castle
By gibbaj (3 reviews) from uk , 26 Jun 2011This film is for an American audience only. Preferably from the patriotic end of the spectrum, were a hand (preferably your own) can be ceremoniously placed on (again preferably your own) heart and a tear in the eye can be readily available at the drop of a flag.
The rest of the world is warned not to watch this on health grounds alone as this saccharine drenched film will induce nausea and bouts of vomiting as you watch 2.5 hours of amazing actors and actresses reduced to being extras transplanted from a ham fisted attempt at a thinly disguised propaganda film.
If you really do insist on watching, then revel in the acting skills of Madame Trebuchet who minds her own business throughout most of the proceedings only to be eventually spotted as an imposter from Carry on Siegeing. This debacle did not stop her from stealing all the plaudits, as this movie is more wooden than she is.- Was this review helpful to you?

Well executed military version of the Shawshank Redemption
By Danno01 (31 reviews) from Hastings , 19 Jun 2011Outstanding, the military version of the Shawshank Redemption.
Strong acting throughout, including Robert Redford whom I do not normally rate.
Definitely a film to watch, two men matching wills in this military prison, the underdog court martialed general striving through adversity, proving to the other convicted military personnel, they are still men with value.- Was this review helpful to you?
