2.5/4

Rubin and Mullin get points for not making this a traditional buddy movie, but their decision to take the plot down an unexpected road -- and never getting back to the pure feeling of friendship that drives the first half -- leaves Semper Fi lacking.

2/4

The interesting characters and all of their conflicts are all right there onscreen -- the cast is excellent -- but the 'prison break' is such a far-fetched idea it's difficult to invest in it.

2/5

An unpersuasive action-driven movie rather different to the steady character fare that previously held our attention.

Semper Fi leans heavily on male codes of honor but doesnt fully explore the motivations for the primary players, a group of Marines trying to re-acclimate to life in upstate New York. As a result, the final act suffers.

Contrived, undercooked and increasingly implausible despite solid performances by Jai Courtney and Nat Wolff. It's not nearly as gripping, powerful nor genuinely heartfelt as Conviction and Trial By Fire .
