I wish I could tell you that "The Marine" at least looks pretty good.
It is far worse than I even describe here, as is the rest of the film.
There exists one decent line in the film.

gain any critical acclaim, but it's an entertaining movie.....the action is incredibly far-fetched....has some of the best lines of the movie.....Sure it is over the top, the plot is ridiculously simple....John Cena actually does a respectable job in this role..... ... Full Review

Much like in the film, the movie The Marine needs to be dishonorably discharged.
The Disc: The disc for The Marine holds there are tons of extras, but none of them are really desirable and they even get to the point that you start seeing the same clips and hearing the same sound bites over and over again.

Cena wasn't too bad for not being an actor (far better than Hogan or HHH in Blade: Trinity).....The story is totally unoriginal;....I know, it's just a mindless action flick starring a pro wrestler....So, the story's beyond simple;....Still, even his lackluster, almost painful performance outshined the rest of the cast..... ...

Patrick certainly makes for a cool villain in this, his best role since "Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
Director John Bonito does a decent job with this formulaic premise.

Despite the schlocky greatness of this movie, there are a few serious problems with the action scenes.....But it's so much easier to look past the shortcomings of "The Marine" when it has so little ambition to begin with.....The genius of the film is in its unapologetically obvious crowd-pleasing moments.....Cena, for example, is a horrible actor....that just makes a movie like "The Marine" better..... ...

his emotionally void performance is simply more tolerable when compared to the embarrassing mugging everyone else seems to partake in.....The Marine goes one further with a string of barely passable (but nevertheless repugnant) "jokes" that play directly into the sexual insecurities and racial hang-ups of its target audience..... ...
