Arnold Schwarzenegger makes his action lead return (his first since 2002's Collateral Damage) as a lone sheriff forced to defend his sleepy border town from heavily-armed bandits. From Korean director Jee-woon Kim (I Saw the Devil), making his US feature debut.
After leaving his LAPD narcotics post following a bungled operation, Sheriff Ray Owens (Schwarzenegger) settled into a life fighting what little crime takes place in placid Sommerton Junction. That peaceful existence is shattered when Cortez (Eduardo Noriega), a notorious drug kingpin, escapes from a FBI prisoner convoy. With the help of a fierce band of lawless mercenaries, Cortez begins racing towards the US-Mexico border with a hostage in tow. His path: straight through Sommerton Junction, where the whole of the U.S. law enforcement, including Agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker) will have their final opportunity to intercept him.

"Schwarzenegger, when he's not plowing his way through reams of semi-intelligible dialogue, proves he's still capable of firing off a few rounds and pulling broken glass out of his leg."
