The burdens of high office, a messy divorce and advancing age have definitely affected the former Governator. He is heavier, more wrinkly and ponderous. But Korean director Kim Ji-woon serves up the Austrian son of a policeman in a tailor-made, rewarding role: as the sheriff of sleepy Sommerton Junction on the Mexican border, he finds out that a farmer was killed because the FBI dropped the ball – they let extremely dangerous drug boss Gabriel Cortez escape with a female hostage from a transport vehicle in Los Angeles, and he's on the run towards Mexico.

For 8 years, Arnold Schwarzenegger made politics as the Governor of California, now he's back in Hollywood. Kim Ji-woon's movie is action-packed and funny in the style of a staged, high-tech western. In the midst of it all, the former Terminator is a self-deprecating, fearless knight in the battle for law and justice. Hats off to the governor!
