Right, well given the synopsis for this movie and given the fact that it is a Dolph Lundgren movie, makes you kind of take a step back and have second thoughts about watching it. You should listen to that little voice in the back of your head.
I, however, opted to sit down and watch it, because Dolph Lundgren does have the occasional movie that is good and entertaining. However, this 2000 release wasn't one of them!
The story here is about a massive earthquake hitting Los Angeles and rips it apart, and from the ashes rise a new island where law and order is gone. And a small group of armed soldiers must steer the survivors and the rest of mankind to a better future.
No. Just no! Seriously, who comes up with these ideas, and more importantly how do they manage to fund these projects. Sometimes a critique's eye should scrutinize the scripts first.
I didn't even get halfway through the movie before I had to give up out of sheer boredom and because there was nothing in the movie that could be classified as entertainment on any level. The characters were two-dimensional cardboard cut-outs and the entire storyline was just laughable. And the special effects weren't really helping the movie ahead in any way either.
This was most definitely not the brightest of moments in Dolph Lundgrens movie career, and from what I saw, then it seemed like he wasn't even fully committed to the movie, as his performance was just half-hearted in comparison to some of his other movies.
With no intention of returning to "The Last Patrol" in order to finish watching it, I can only hope that you take heed of the low rating of the movie, and actually listen to that voice in the back of your head that say "don't do it!".
