Overblown in every possible way, The Marine is either so bad it's good or just really, really bad.

The Marine subscribes to the notion that there's no such thing as a gratuitous explosion. Go to Full Review

The Marine often feels like an oddball black comedy about a dysfunctional band of sociopaths, just masquerading as an action movie about one tough ex-Marine. Go to Full Review

A delectably bad '80s-style actioner. Go to Full Review

Feb 16, 2019 Completely overblown, The Marine is one example of so bad it's good filmmaking.
Harry M Nov 12, 2018 The marine usa todos los estereotipos posibles de una cinta de accion que por mucho se satura en una historia que no tiene coherencia y que deja ridiculizado a su protagonista por cada momento ilogico que crea. See more
Rey L Jul 12, 2018 Workmanlike action movie from WWE Films serves as an unoriginal and routine action vehicle for wrestler John Cena. Diamond thief Robert Patrick and his crew kidnap Cena's wife, which leads to the recently discharged marine chasing after Patrick and company through the backwoods of South Carolina. The action is competently produced and Cena is a decent enough of actor in a retro 80s musclebound action hero sort of way (i.e Stallone, Arnold, JCVD, etc.), which is a low bar, but as with those action heroes, he does have undeniable charisma, which he surely honed in the squared circle of the WWE. Overall, "The Marine" is nothing to go out of your way to see, but if you're in the mood for something that seems like a more bombastic version of "Walking Tall" it's not all that bad. See more
Abraham W Jun 29, 2018 Improbable action film has lots of explosions to fill the plot holes.
Nov 12, 2017 How did this get a rating of 20?
Harry M Sep 8, 2017 This movie would have been nothing without Morgan played by Anthony Ray Parker. Dude is hilarious lol! Four stars (but the sequel is garbage). See more
