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.
