Greately mis-deserved low reviews. Not best of a movie, but definitely a 7 or 8. What do you expect going for a WWE Studios movie. Not superficially acted, but the story was good, with nice momentum and entertaining.

Better than bad Aggregate
What a load of crap.
By far the worst of the franchise, bad acting, stupid plot, in one scene fights 2 big guys of in a jif and then suddenly a skinny girl is able to fight him of like he was in a coma, and what marine would keep firing his weapon in all directions, when he is low on ammo. This was so bad, what a waste of time.
Watchable But Barely
This is the latest presentation in the WWE produced Marine film series. I've seen a couple of them and I recall liking the original 2006 movie The Marine, with John Cena. However, this one was barely watchable, in my opinion.
Shawn Michaels and Mike "The Miz" Mizanin star here as two ex-Marines who are trying to help a Vietnam Vet squatting in a huge abandoned and dilapidated apartment complex, in Portland, Oregon. But they will stumble upon the hideout of some Irish mob kidnappers. They've taken the daughter of a jury member in a murder trial involving one of their leaders , as they try and force a mistrial in the case.
What will ensue will be one fight scene after another, either hand-to-hand combat or weaponry, as the two ex-Marines along with the kidnapped young woman try and fight their way out of the enormous building. I might mention here that Becky Lynch is believable as the sadistic head of the kidnappers. There's a twist towards the end of the film that probably few would have predicted.
Overall, there's just too much stilted dialogue and repetitive fight scenes for my liking here. The banter between Michaels and The Miz offers some comic relief at times, but it's not always effective. As mentioned earlier, it's watchable but barely, as I see it.
