| | The Last Castle |
 | | The film borrows piecemeal from many prison and court-martial movies, most notably "The Caine Mutiny," "Cool Hand Luke," "Mutiny on the Bounty" and "A Few Good Men." Gandolfini makes an appealing monster but goes full-bore too quickly. |
 | | Regarding "The Last Castle," our film critic writes, "DreamWorks might be nervous about a movie concerning what amounts to a military mutiny coming out in the current climate, but thematically, the film is as gung-ho as a John Wayne war movie." |
 | | The film might have indulged in some ambivalence in the Irwin vs. Winter duel; it might have toyed, say, with the notion that a prison command is totally unlike a battlefield command, and not every tactic employed by Winter is dead wrong. |
