Critics Consensus: The Last Castle is well acted and rousing for the most part, but the story can't stand up to close scrutiny.

Bizarre, confused, sanctimonious manure.
The themes that ring out most loudly in the end -- some men are just born leaders; others do best if they just conform -- are numbingly retrograde.
Devolves into a mundane warden-versus-inmate conclusion.
A heavy-handed military prison melodrama.
The Last Castle, while engrossing in parts, might have benefited from more pre-shooting talk about what makes an intriguing character -- and what makes a star performance.
The Last Castle is not as simple as it looks, though its appeal is simple.
A dull, borderline inept action-prison drama, in which lead star Robert Redford is totally wasted.
Os diálogos são ótimos, os dois antagonistas são bem desenhados e corretamente vividos por seus intérpretes, mas é uma pena que, nos últimos minutos, torne-se formulaico demais.
After impressing with his debut, former film critic Lurie has destroyed all of his credibility in the space of two hours with this display of jaundiced jingoism.
Robert Redford's military prison drama contains cruel and unusual punishment -- for the audience.
The sap is only occassional, but the poignancy is muted.
generates almost palpable heat when its protagonist and antagonist square off against each other.
In a tightly controlled military prison things get tense between the by-the-book warden (James Gandolfini) and the new inmate, a battle hardened veteran (Robert Redford). The work is inconcievable from the first and unrealistic, and then it's predictable as everything, and manipulative in it's predictability. The players go for broke anyway, redeeming it somewhat.
Super Reviewer
What a load of American drivel, an uninspired prison flick that bores and irritates the hell out of you!
I usually like seeing movies where the underdog finds a way to triumph over the nasty villain, but this movie is a bit hard to take. In five minutes of movie time General Irwin goes from "Hmmm, we should overtake this prison" to the full fledged revolt overcoming guns, water cannons and helicopters.
A flawed, if watchable drama concerning a former general (Robert Redford) who is sent to prison under the watch of a sadistic warden (James Gandolfini), and how he rouses the inmates to rise up against the corrupt warden. Redford is perfect as the silent rebel type, with Gandolfini an ideal fit as the ego maniacal villain. Although it is heavily cliched and suffers from an overdose of melodrama, the end still packs a punch despite its faults.
