The Last Castle
2001
**½
Director: Rod Lurie
Cast: Robert Redford, James Gandolfini, Mark Ruffalo, Steven Burton
A military prison is run by a sadistic but cowardly colonel, but the latest arrival, a heroic but scarred general, refuses to turn a blind eye to the way the place is run. Acting is solid but the story is pompous and clichéd, the villain is a one-dimensional goon and the jingoistic finale is frankly offputting.
