The Last Castle

While Robert Redford is good here (God, the man is in perfect shape!), he can’t save this prison drama from its clichés and stereotypes. It’s fairly routine shenanigans at a military prison run by Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), where Redford’s three-star general has received a 10-year sentence for screwing up. Redford observes bad treatment of the inmates at the facility, resolves to lead the prisoners in an uprising and manages to kill a bunch of sorry prison guards working for meager paychecks. A strange, muddled message, and a waste of talents like Redford, Gandolfini and Mark Ruffalo. Me no likey.
