Plot: A Cartel leader has escaped federal custody and needs to make his escape across the boder back to Mexico. Armed with a corvette zr1 and a plan to cross the border at a remote point very little law enforcement, the small town of Sumerton Tx and their small sheriffs office will have to do anything in it's powers to prevent him from crossing at this remote point.

This movie was the first full length movie That Arnold has done since leaving the political scene.  He plays the Sherriff of a small town and has a hand full of deputy's that he can work with. The idea of a Cartel leader first escaping an armed federal escort to a maximum security prison not unheard of. Next having a team of mercenaries find a way to get him across the border at a remote location with little or no federal protection from border hoppers (even tough there usually going the other way). Distinctly possible right? Finally a small town,  sheriff with a handful of very inexperienced  deputy's and a moron who happens to have a stockpile of weapons and try's to stop all this. Very Impossible.

The movie does make a good return for Schwarzenegger. He does show he can still be a Hollywood act and not a politician. I think personally he shows he has a ton of fight left in him and I am pretty sure that we will see him much thinner and better than the Expendables 2 version as well. All in all a 7 out of 10 for this movie.
