Review of The Marine (2006) by Matt S — 20 Dec 2010
Not at all bad for a straight to DVD action flick. A thoroughly enjoyable romp, if you dont mind putting your brain in neutral for the duration. Cena, who's charachter seems to have skin made from adamantium, isn't bad and shows some degree of acting capability.
The plot is weak and cliche'd & the effects are OTT, but the film makers are clearly aware of this and have made it a fun roller coaster ride. Some subtle, and some not so subtle referances to other films of the genre, Robert Patrick's look to camera when The Terminator is referenced caught me of guard, the cast and crew clearly know it's not going to win any Oscars but to hell with it, it's a fun movie.
