The Marine
Some movies have the worst scripts, the worst actors, the worst plot-lines, and the most stupidity....but strangely, sometimes these awful movies grip us!
OK, dare I say I enjoyed this ridiculous piece of nonsense? Yes indeed! Never the spoiler, I'll say just a bit: the story presents a muscle-bound ex-marine (yeah, that's the hunk in the picture....ladies can stop staring!) who struggles with civilian life.
His problem: BOREDOM! Yes, hard to believe, but Mr Muscles just can't seem find a job that keeps his interest. Even beating up bad guys and throwing them through windows does not pique the interest of our "hero!" After all, he used to carry a machine gun and run through enemy territory on a killing tear!
Worry not, dear viewers. Muscles is about meet his match: very, very evil dudes who kidnap his wife. Now that's a real no-no!
Marine to the rescue!
Well, I admitted the film was stupid, didn't I? So why do I like it? Simply for the over-the-top, mindless action. You'll see cars being blown up like never before! You'll see chases through alligator-infested swamps! You'll see fast cars and big guns! You'll see the Marine doing what he does best, fighting evil and standing strong and proud!
Fun!
John Cena, a well-known wrestler, plays the lead role. He obviously wanted to break into the movies and "break" he did: he broke the bones of endless villains!
I won't assign a grade to this film, or I'd have to give it an F. However, it could also get an A-..... for those who are willing to park their minds and escape to the world of one very angry marine out for revenge.
Enjoy.
