The Last Castle Widescreen DVD Movie Video maximum security military prisoners Type: Movie Platform: DVD Released: 2002 Media: DVD Three-star General Irwin (Robert Redford) was a prisoner of war in Vietnam and a revered hero in the Persian Gulf and Bosnian campaigns. Now, he has been court-martialed for disobeying orders and he is sentenced to serve time at The Castle, a maximum-security military prison run by Colonel Winter (James Gandolfini), a hard-nosed disciplinarian. A battle of wills soon emerges between the two men, as The Castle's prisoners and guards find themselves drawn to Irwin's natural leadership abilities. As Irwin inspires the prisoners to find the dignity and pride that they have lost, he threatens Winter's strict regime, leading to a conflict that can only have one winner. From Rod Lurie, West Point graduate and director of DETERRENCE and THE CONTENDER, comes this intense dramatic thriller featuring battles both psychological and military. Stars Redford and Gandolfini, joined by gifted newcomers Mark Ruffalo and Clifton Collins, Jr., give excellent performances as a group of very different military men thrown together into an ugly situation. Filmed on location at the now-closed Tennessee State Penetentiary, THE LAST CASTLE is a hard-edged tribute to courage, honor, and loyalty.Product DetailsNumber of Discs: 1Rating: R (MPAA)Film Country: USAFeatures: LetterboxedSound: HiFi Sound, Stereo Sound, Surround SoundUPC: 667068987027Additional DetailsGenre: DramasFormat: DVD"...Exuberant, strapping..."New York Times - Elvis Mitchell (10/19/2001)"...The film does such a good job of creating its oppressive, claustrophobic prison atmosphere, and peopling it with sharply defined characters, that it grips us..."Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (10/19/2001)"...Redford has a natural authority and a commanding, charismatic presence that serves him well..."USA Today - Claudia Puig (10/19/2001)"...Redford's comfortable style="font-size: 14px;" charm and confidence make his character an easy man to rally behind....Gandolfini's performance yields emotion as palpable as any he's expressed..."Box Office - Annlee Ellingson (12/01/2001)For DVD Player (North American NTSC)
