"Buy It If You Like John Cena"
"The Marine" was pretty much a bomb when it was released in 2006; fans and critics alike hated the movie, but if you have a fondness for action films and if you are a huge fan of wrestler John Cena, purchase the DVD. I bought the movie purely because I like looking at Cena, not because I think he can act. There is a lot of male testosterone available, but both the script and performances are flawed. The plot deals with a marine who discovers his wife has been kidnapped by an evil, demented villin, and it's up to this marine to track down his wife's captor and make him pay. TV's "Nip/Tuck's" Kelly Carlson plays the wife and Robert Patrick is an OK villin, but it's Cena'a perfomance and presence that make the film. I am sure with the write script Cena could be a huge movie star; he has amazing screen presence, with the looks and body that most actors would die for.The DVD comes with many bonuses including both the theatrical and unrated versions, the featurette called "The Making of The Marine", WWE Promotional Features, John Cena Featurettes, and more.
