The Last Castle

We watched a recording of The Last Castle tonight. If you saw previews of this movie about an uprising in a US military prison, you might have been attracted by the star power of James Gandolfini and Robert Redford.

They are both excellent in their roles, but the most interesting part of the film is the way it examines leadership ability. Redford's character, the convicted three-star general displays a natural leadership that Gandolfini's character can't hope to match. The final confrontation is very well staged.

As a result, on my scale of 1-100, I rate it a 78.
