Every Arnold Schwarzenegger Movie Ranked Worst To Best

14. The Last Stand

The Last Stand Arnold Schwarzenegger
Lionsgate

If Sabotage is one of Arnold's less-crowd-pleasing post-Governorship jaunts, then The Last Stand is the exact opposite - a nice, pleasant return to leading man status, wherein he plays a small-town sheriff forced to take on a drug lord fugitive and his band of cartel cronies.

Kim Jee-woon's film is fast and functional, while Arnold himself seems to be relishing his homecoming event, playing with his age and finding his footing as an action lead once more. It's not quite as expansive or as ceremonious as it arguably should be, but The Last Stand still succeeds by bringing some always-appreciated neo-Western vibes to the table, and matching Schwarzenegger with a solid cast of supporting players.
