Review of Sabotage (2014) by Esteban G — 18 Aug 2014
Sabotage is the latest "action" film from Arnold Schwarzenegger after jumping back into the movie game, as well as the latest film from director David Ayer. The film tells the story of a group of undercover agents who steal $10 million dollars during a raid on a drug cartel, hiding it out of sight for safe keeping.
When they return to retrieve it, they find that it's been taken by someone, and one by one, each of them are bumped off by an unknown killer as they all begin pointing fingers at each other. On the whole, it wasn't one of the worst movies I've ever seen, but it's certainly one of the most underwhelming.
It was marketed as an action movie, but really it doesn't have a whole lot of action in it. It's more like a drama/thriller than anything else. The movie has a few explosions, some gunfire, and some practical gore effects mixed with CGI blood splatters, but it just wasn't enough.
It might have made for a more compelling TV miniseries (with a better cast, of course). The film has a few good ideas, but they're just not executed in an exciting way.
