Product ReviewsThe Marine (DVD, 2007, Canadian)

A throwback to all the action classics of the 80s & 90s

The Marine

John Cena is a great personality every week on WWE programming so it was pretty obvious he would be a decent action star. WWE has been known to be over the top and The Marine is no different. Full-blown action from beginning to end.

The Marine has gun fights, fist fights, knife fights, bomb fights, and pretty much any other fight you can think of. There's car chases, explosions, glass breaking, people being thrown, and pretty much every other form of violence you can think of. That being said I didn't think this film was that graphic, the film makers do a good job covering up the blood and guts with innovative camera angles.

I already stated that John Cena does a good job as an action star and Kelly Carlson is fantastic as his wife. But the real key to this film is Robert Patrick as the main bad-guy. Patrick is amazing in almost every role he plays and this one is no different. He's funny, witty, and incredibly bad-@$$.

Watching The Marine reminded me of all of the action films of yester-year; Predator, Commando, Rambo, Hard Target, Nowhere to Run, and pretty much every other action film from the late-80's, early-90's. If you enjoy old-school action you'll enjoy this.

Final Verdict:

4/5

Rent or Buy?: If you have a Van Damme, Stallone, or Ahnold collection this film is a must buy, if not this film is just a rental.
