First World War 1914-1918 exhibition at Artarmon LibraryĪ captivating story of heritage, heartbreak and hope set during the dying days of the riverboat trade along the Darling River.FAQs transition from RBdigital to Libby by OverDrive.Anyways after the shootout in town, the climax seems anti-climatic. Some sniper in Mexico would have taken Arnie out. Arnold wouldn't have a chance at hand to hand combat. If Cortez had so much resources, he should have an army on the other side. That section is enough to recommend the movie.
It has just enough humor with the great shoot em up action. The saving grace for this movie is Schwarzenegger and the small town shoot out. If Cortez had all that resources, there has got to be a better way. Just a simple tire spike strip could easily have stopped him. The premise is silly that a guy driving from Las Vegas couldn't be stopped even though the cops have a helicopter and multiple road blocks.
The only thing standing in his way is Schwarzenegger and his band of deputies (Jaimie Alexander, Luis Guzmán, Johnny Knoxville). Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega) is an escaped FBI prisoner driving a souped up Corvette closing in on the border. Ray Owens (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a small town sheriff in Sommerton, Arizona on the border with Mexico.
