This movie is God Awful. Hulk Cry. Instead of watching it, make a fire-pit and roast a hot dog: it's almost all pyrotechnics and explosions and stupid hack-work fight scenes (with John Cena jumping through the air like Superman).
But hey, if that's what you're into.
"The Marine" is "A Meathead", which, really would have been a better title for this movie. He looks a little like Arnold Schwarzenegger when he wasn't 50 and he doesn't talk because he knows he's as bad an actor as Arnold before he could speak English.
The good part of this movie is how easy it is to make fun of. Just sit back and make noises as "Meathead" runs through the swamp after the most stereotyped villains ever thought of. There are little plot twists which, apparently, the writers thought were clever, but really aren't. At all. None of the actors actually seem to be speaking to each other, but rather to the camera, and every single one of their lines are more cliche then the actual word "cliche".
A little light thought in a world of heavy problems. I hope it is an entertaining as it is enlightening and reinforcing.
