THE LAST CASTLE

Grade: C

A general takes on a warden in a military prison

Rating: R

Running time: 131 minutes

If you need a quick explanation for why The Last Castle doesn't work, try this: Robert Redford plays a role that probably could have gone to Clint Eastwood. Redford proves unconvincing as a battle-hardened general serving a 10-year sentence in a military prison.
