The feature film debut of wrestling superstar John Cena, The Marine offers an agreeable smorgasbord of slam-bang action for viewers willing to swallow whole their disbelief for the sake of enjoying the plot. Cena, who is one of the most animated performers in the wrestling arena, is saddled with a taciturn role as a former Marine with an authority problem who tangles with dangerous jewel thieves (led by Robert Patrick) after they take his wife (Kelly Carlson of Nip/Tuck) hostage. Cena handles the physical duties of his role with ease, and former commercial director John Bonito offers him a frantic array of situations in which to display his prowess. On the whole, however, the picture is very light in the logic department, and filled with cardboard characters that quickly wear out their welcome (save Patrick, who tosses villainous one-liners with scene-stealing brio). Extras include a making-of featurette, which includes talking-head interviews with the cast, crew, and WWE head/producer Vince McMahon, as well as a barrage of shorter featurettes on Cena's rise to fame and the film's premiere at Camp Pendleton. --Paul Gaita

Might actually watch this if Cena wasen't in it, if his acting is any worse than his wrestling persona this will be his last movie.
 Mildly entertaining at best September 17, 2008

This movie had bad acting and a thin plot. Could have been much better. Lots of action, lots of explosions but didn't seem like a good Blu-ray quality movie. It killed 2 hours but nothing i would recommend to a friend to watch.

If the cover for this low-brow action piece wasn't a hint, then you're probably one of the producers target audience. One of the things I think hurts hollywood is its irrepressible desire to shove the American flag down our throats by making these "patriotic" movies. We have the American flag, Iraq, marines... and wrestling!!! I guess if cow-tipping is a hobby you enjoy as much as practicing a suplex, then this movie is for you.
As for a review, it stank. If you see it on the shelf of your local video store, leave it there.
If you're a hollywood producer, please stop making movies starring wrestling "stars". If your name is Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, John Cena (The Rock is OK) please stick to your day jobs.

Welcome to the world of The Marine where John Cena unconvincingly plays a discharged marine who's wife is kidnapped by a bunch of ignoble diamond thieves. Welcome to the world of The Marine where our "hero" escapes death by fire not once, not twice but three times! Welcome to the world of The Marine where a woman can come between a hairsbreadth of escaping the clutches of the bumbling idiots who hold her captive AND STILL GETS CAUGHT! Welcome to the world of The Marine where men take punches that would knock Suge Knight out(what, too soon?) Welcome to the world of The Marine where stereotypical black men run around saying cliches like yep, you guessed it,"why it always gotta be a brother?". Welcome to the world of The Marine where bad guys couldn't hit the broadside of a barnyard with semi-automatic weapons. Welcome to the world of The Marine where our "hero" can get shot at and not get hit. Welcome to the world of The Marine where monosyllabic hillbillies with an irrational fear of cops reside in the bayou. Welcome to the World of The Marine where a women can get submerged under water for seven minutes and STILL LIVE! Welcome the the world of The Marine where cheesy one-liners run wild and a distinguished actor like Robert Patrick is at his worst. You get the drift.
The plot is weak, the action scenes are a joke and John Cena shouldn't be within a 3000 mile radius of a camera(he looks so constipated). This is the type of movie that The Last Action Hero made fun of. Ridiculous action scenes that defy all logic and the corny one-liners spouted in this movie makes the one-liners in Batman and Robin seem hip. Dont waste precious time on this movie. We're talking 92 minutes of pain and suffering. Your eyeballs will roll out of you head because you rolled your eyes so much at the sheer absurdity of this schlocky action flick. John Cena is right when he says that nobody cant see him. Nobody cant see him being a good actor after seeing unfunny action flick. Malibu's Most Unwanted should stick to wrestling. This is the worst WWE film ever made point blank period.
