Unexpectedly dropping on Netflix today is this Vertical Entertainment movie headlined by Amandla Stenberg (The Hate U Give, Bodies Bodies Bodies) and George MacKay (1917, Captain Fantastic).
Here’s what you can expect from the movie if it’s never crossed your radar:
“During WWII, a mixed-race girl in Nazi Germany struggles to assert her identity while passionately falling in love with an officer’s son.”
While critics weren’t very kind on the film when it released theatrically five years ago, audience scores have since been very kind with it carrying a 72% on RottenTomatoes, with reviews calling it “emotional” and “well-produced”.
The Last Stand (2013)
Rating: R
Language: English
Genre: Action, Thriller, Western
Director: Jee-woon Kim
Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Forest Whitaker, Johnny Knoxville
Writer: Andrew Knauer
Runtime: 107 min / 1h 47m
Returning to Netflix today after its first stint on the service ending in 2015 is the 2013 Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie, The Last Stand.
The plot revolves around a sheriff of a sleepy border town who finds his quiet life interrupted when a drug boss escapes FBI custody and flees into his backyard.
It’s a perfect time to revisit this movie given we’re about to be seeing a lot more of Arnie on Netflix with his brand new series FUBAR hitting the service in May 2023.
