About this movie

After leaving his LAPD narcotics post following a bungled operation, Sheriff Ray Owens (Schwarzenegger) moves to a sleepy border town filled with characters like local gun enthusiast Lewis Dinkum (Johnny Knoxville). But that peaceful existence is shattered when the most wanted drug kingpin in the western hemisphere makes a deadly escape from an FBI prisoner convoy. Headed straight for Owen's border town, the Sheriff is at first reluctant to become involved. But when U.S. law enforcement counts him out he ultimately rallies his team and takes matters into his own hands, setting the stage for a classic showdown.

Ratings and reviews

The cartoonishly unrealistic vehiclular tomfoolery at times made me gag. From the apparently severely damaged tranmissions slipping and popping out of gear on the highway to the sportscars with practically zero traction in dirt propelling the vehicles over 100 mph through a cornfield, this grossly deceptive infomercial had me wondering how the entire FTC could have fell asleep during its approval process. While once a GM fan and customer, I am now honestly planning on selling my Chevrolet to never, ever own another vehicle that so represents the intellectually handicapped individuals of our devolving society so accurately as this shell of a bankrupt, hideously assanine company. I will now look down my nose at any uneducated soul that deliberately purchases one of these insanely misrepresented vehicles with utter disgust and pitty. May our Lord forgive me for failing to turn the other cheek, as the shear strength of this farcicle misadventure simply disgusted me too much to do so.

I thought setting Arnold in an action movie part governor and at his age would make the movie cheesy but it was surprisingly a good movie. Although some parts were stretched out for believability wise. And I often find myself giggling and saying...."yeah right like that would happen," I still enjoyed the movie. And mind you I am strictly a chic flick movie lover .

But honestly, riding that horse from the early nineties would have done his reputation wrong. This was never expected to be a comeback vehicle based on his earlier work. Watch and enjoy it for its own merits rather then expecting something from long ago. Arnold Schwarzenegger paid his dues and needs to prove nothing to me.
