Maziun The idea for this movie is quite interesting. It could be an interesting science fiction movie set in post apocalyptic world . Unfortunately it's not. From what I've heard the movie makers had very small budget . So small that they struggled to finish this movie . A movie with low budget doesn't necessary has to suck . This one is bad. REALLY BAD.When you don't have money you can always impress the audience with other things : acting , dialogue , plot … "The Last patrol" is poor not only with production values. It's an action movie with no action ! The first fight happens here after 1 hour and 10 minutes ! That's right . Before Lundgren will hit and kick someone you will have to wait 1 hour and 10 minutes . The last 20 minutes of movie are "intense" – we have one shootout , 5 kicks , 7 punches and 1 explosion (not too impressive) . That's all you get after suffering 1 hour and 10 minutes of boredom. And some pseudo-intellectual dialogue about faith. Admit it – that's not the reason you watch action movie , especially with Dolph Lundgren.So what's happening before the " big climax" ? Nothing . We are introduced to characters we couldn't care less about . To be honest if it wasn't for Lundgren I would swear I was watching some idiotic comedy . I guess they wanted to make a drama about people trying to survive in a destroyed world . I don't understand why they filled the movie with characters that could easily appear in "Police academy" – the milkman , the dragged couple , the pseudo-Indian , the dumb blonde girl , the macho soldier . There is a big twist involving Lundgren's past – I don't understand what was so traumatic in it . Seriously . I laughed so hard when the movie revealed his big secret . I expected something dark and heartbreaking , while it was all about a … simple talk. One meeting with black woman and children changed his life so much he had nightmares . It feels odd at best.I have to point three dues ex machine plot solutions – one with the earthquake , second with the explosion and third with the rain. And the magical "saved from the death".I also have to point that the movie drags all the time . It's boring like HELL . There is no interesting dialogue or good acting. "The Last Patrol" is the definition of words : dull and lifeless. And stupid.I give it 1/10.
athorty A movie for all Dolph Lundgren fans to enjoy. Not that bad for being extremely low budget. I thought they had an interesting concept with an earthquake turning California into a island. I also enjoyed Lundgren's narration throughout the movie. It's also well worth it to watch the perky and sexy Rebecca Cross (as Candy) dancing around this movie. Why hasn't she been in any movies lately?[SOME SPOILERS]I didn't understand why people were dying and had bubbles forming on their faces and on the top of their heads. Like that crazy milkman with the mutated goats. That was never explained in the movie. But the movie did a good job keeping you interested in the characters. Towards the end I thought Candy was killed but I was very relieved to find out that she was alive and being held prisoner. That really made the mission into the prison with all those crazies more heart-pounding. If your a fan of Kevin Costner's "The Postman" (I know there aren't many of you) you should enjoy this small-scale post-apocalyptic adventure.
Ailinon Silverionnae (ailinon) First of all, I have no idea why this thing is in this database at all.Why?This is an Internet MOVIE Database, is it not?Let's, then, define what a movie is. It's something that involves characters acting out a plot, right? Well, this has neither.Characters? They're flat and simple. Everyone's so predictable and dumb that I find it really hard to call them "characters" at all.Plot? Like I said, what plot? Okay, a big earthquake severs California off the rest of the American continent. That's fine. Now let's roll a die and pick from a Big List O' Ideas. Bad Ideas. Hey, dammit, it's only an earthquake, so: (1) why do mutations spread within days? (2) why does all the visible world turn to a desert, and all the world's population seems to have died out? (3) why is all communication disrupted and no large-scale military search-and-rescue operations? (4) why is the Earth's axis shifted?? now ask any physicist why an earthquake can't cause that. (5) why are the world's waters toxic all of a sudden? ... must I go on? The screenplay writer was apparently in the middle of a huge writer's block, and he went to talk to someone, whom he asked: "what should I make the plot revolve around? Mutants? Toxicity? Natural catastrophies? World anarchy? Planetary disasters?" His conversation partner must've, jokingly, answered, "all of it". And the screenplay dude took that seriously. Ouch.Okay, I've seen many Dolph Lundgren movies, they were mostly B movies, but fun and relaxing B movies. I watched this one, hoping it to be another. And I ended up hacking my way through completely nonsensical plot and dialogues so corny that I laughed through most of the most "serious" scenes. So much for pathos.This is Mad Max without the kick-ass characters and plot. This is Volcano with aliens coming out from the lava. This is Armageddon with a big green lump of toxic space moss instead of the asteroid. This is Waterworld with a giant squid monster and no dry land plot, and Costner turning out to be an Allah's prophet.Stay away. Stay very far away. Watching the news for the fifth time might prove more entertaining. 1/10.
melvinthejerk Out of all the lame action stars the 80's an 90's brought to us, there's one that will always remain my favorite: Dolph Lundgren. This movie is a classic Dolph film. When was the last time Arnie threw a brick at a guys face? 1985? Last I heard, he was working on Jingle All the Way 2. Dolph stayed in great shape for his age, and delivers the melodrama and unreal action that has made me like action heroes ever since I was a kid. It's this type of movie that reminds me of when Action heroes were tough. Guys like Micheal Dudikoff, Chris Christopherson, and Dolph Lundgren made good films that didn't need a bunch of cookie cutter acting. Guys like Stallone and Arnie needed to prove they could act for some reason. Leave acting to the actors and leave action to the men.
