Dolph is a man whom i believe has/had the potential to have the same success as Arnie or Sly as he has the charisma than other action stars such as Seagal (which isn't saying much). This movie however made me eat these words as Dolph plods through this bored out of his skull, as were i and i believe i saw the first punch in the movie over an hour into it. Filling the gap is tedious boring acting in which everyone is very annoying that will push viewers over the edge. Guys do yourself a favour and avoid this drivel or you will regret it. Heres fingers crossed the expendables will change Dolphs future from making crap like this again

The Last Patrol was one of those movies I forced myself to sit through. On pretty much every level I was left disappointed. The plot, the characters, continuity and the ending.For some reason I had respect for Dolph but after a flick through his filmography I could only obviously recommend Universal Soldier. He was the only element of this production that offered any attraction but, while he went through the motions pretty well, he was surrounded on all sides by the mediocre and the ridiculous.I'm sure that some of the scenes could maybe have been reworked and the overall plot could maybe have been dragged into more respectable territory but the characters were, overall, poor. Those who were meant to be funny were just annoying and with the possible exception of McBride, there was a general lack of depth.I just don't understand how these movies make it to DVD - we're obviously not talking big budget here but where's the quality control guys?

'The Last Patrol' feels eerily like a prequel to Van Damme's 'Cyborg', which began as a sequel to Dolph Lundgren's live-action 'Masters of the Universe'. In fact, replace the German pirates of 'Cyborg' with the Mexican geologists of 'The Last Patrol', and they could very well be the same movie. Not really, but you get my point hopefully.Welcome to the island of California, in the early 21st century. An earthquake measuring 9.5 on the Richter scale has separated California from the rest of America. Naturally, this is an alternate universe in which Arnie never became Governator, and thus was not around to use his awesomeness to stop this devastating earthquake. Camping out at a military junkyard, Nick Preston (Dolph Lundgren) is an Army Captain who leads a group of survivors including Air Force Captain Sarah McBride, an Army sergeant 'Lucky' Simcoe and some civilians. Meanwhile, a bad-guy named Jesus and his evil-geologist partner have taken over a prison and are intent on taking out the remnants of the military. Unfortunately for the bad guys, the 'remnants of the military' include Dolph Lundgren...So the story is something we've been told before, many many times, except this time it has Dolph Lundgren, who brings in a great sense of awesomeness. I was entertained, even if the movie was a bit slow at points. As to be expected from a Dolph Lundgren movie, there were some plot points brought up early on in the movie and then were hastily resolved, or remained unresolved entirely. The police officer promised dangerous killer mutants. Dagnabbit, what happened to the killer monster-mutants? Despite the movie being a little slow at times, there were some nice action sequence, and the battle at the end was exciting. Dolph even throws a brick at a bad-dude's head. I can honestly say I haven't seen that outside of 'Home Alone 2', and I found it incredibly funny in both films. Other than that, I don't think Dolph's character ever fired a gun at any point in the movie, leaving a lot of Dolph fighting hand-to-hand, and a lot of Dolph acting.'The Last Patrol' is an entertaining action B-movie. Avoid it if you don't like Dolph Lundgren, otherwise, enjoy - 6/10

This is a strange little film which fortunately I only rented for a dollar at my local vid shop. There are so many silly scenes that the film is constantly verging on slap stick comedy, but it never quite reaches the level of "Spoof" because it does at it's heart take itself seriously. I've seen a lot of comments regarding it's lack of plot. But in my opinion the plot isn't supposed to have anything to do with ...SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS!!action heros, or science fiction concepts, it's about learning to have faith in God. This is a film about right wing Christian ideals (Specifically Baptist ideals). The action sequences and science fiction concepts are paper thin because they are window dressing. When I recognised that the film is essentially a Christian moral tale (ie - the whole climax of the film is Dolph sacrificing himself in order to save the kids and woman in the Baptist Church bus), I found the film entertaining in a surreal and bizarre way.I do agree with other posted comments which state the sci-fi elements in Last Patrol are absolutely ludicrous. But I get the feeling this film designed to be screened to 10 - 15 year olds at Bible study camps to demonstrate the sacrifices people with faith in God make (like L. Ron Hubbard's `Battlefield Earth'), so the film makers really didn't focus on creating a story meant to entertain adults.SPOILERS END!!As a genuine film (if you take into consideration gigantic plot holes, implausibilities, characters who are laughable yet take themselves seriously), I give this film a 2/10. Due to the film's subtext (see spoilers), I give it an extra 2 points because I it was a surreal and bizarre experience. Praise God!!
