Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

At first I thought it might be a live-action movie, then I realized it was all a very realistically done cartoon.It's just plan terrible. It includes nothing you haven't seen a dozen or more times before. John Cena is a tall muscle man, all splanchnocranium and bulging biceps. He's taut but not graceful. It reminds me of an observation an anthropologist, Alice Brues, made of the gorilla: "He can kill anything he can catch but he can't catch anything." He and the other characters do a fairly decent job of acting, considering that they are nothing more than computer-generated images and their speech is digitally fabricated.The direction is worse. It belong back in the 1960s when seeing action filmed in slow motion was a novelty instead of a hoary cliché. Among the things you've seen before is the pursuit at high speed, several exploding fireballs, a room peppered with bullets, one bad guy shooting another because there may be the hint of betrayal, the good guy tied up and beaten, and -- well, everything. There is wit in some of the lines. It's as if the writers were dying to break out of this action flick straightjacket and write the comedy that the movie really is.The award for best performance and best lines goes to -- envelope, please -- Robert Patrick as the smooth, butyraceous leader of the greasy pack. He's always carefully dressed and polite. Oh, he knows his way around.The plot: the gang kidnaps Cena's wife. He pursues them and gets her back. That's more than the plot deserves.

John Triton (John Cena) is a Marine who made a heroic rescue. He's rewarded with a discharge against his will. Back home he is just a security guard and they fire him there too. Rome (Robert Patrick) leads a group of murderous diamond thieves. They have a lot of fun shooting up everything. Robert tries very hard to be funny, but that's beyond him. During a shootout, they steal John's car and take his wife as a hostage.WWE is making action movies, and it delivers exactly what you'd expect. John Cena is likable but has limited acting range. He kicks butt, and lots of things get blown up. Don't worry about story. Don't worry about acting. Don't worry about anything. Just turn your brain off and enjoy the action. It'll be over soon enough. They did get one good Terminator line in for Robert Patrick.

During the early 2000's, The Rock became the top dog in the WWE to the point that WWE Studios use him to produce films. When the Rock move on from wrestling in late 2004 to start in more Hollywood's films outside of WWE Studios. It left a void that needed to be fill. This is where John Cena comes in. The Marine was supposed to be the first developed solely by the company to reach the filming stage and to show cast its newest wrestling star. 'The Master of The Five Moves of Doom' John Cena got his own movie as John Triton, the Marine, well technically ex-Marine who come home only to have his wife (Kelly Clarkson) kidnapped by a ruthless criminal name Rome (Robert Patrick) during a jewel robbery heist. Now he must rescue the dimstress in disrest. It's a pointless action film and gratuitous action scenes loosely attributed to a half-constructed plot. The absurdity of it only caps off the fun. I personally am a wrestling fan and love to watch wrestlers in action. Still, John Cena is probably the worst portrayal of a Marine in film. Not only does he violating a commander's order during duty, but being a Marine gives up Captain America type superpowers. After jumping head-first and upside-down from a high speed exploding camaro in the mid-air, John Cena will emerge later without any injuries at all. Come on, movie. Plus, I also don't think it lets you be a vigilante legally. "John Cena, you are charged with theft of law enforcement vehicles and assault. How do you plead?" "A Marine, sir." The way John Cena is able to survive a series of explosion is so unrealistic. You might be asking yourself, I really got burn watching this stupid movie, didn't I? There is an explosion in every action scene. I guess everything is flammable, combustible, or explosive. It doesn't look real, the explosions looks like a well laid out pyrotechnics fireworks display. The villains are just as silly as the hero. Rome loves to shoots cops in sight over dozens of witnesses that would gladly turn him in. His henchmen like to break the fourth wall, and have stupid rape pedophile jokes about a summer camp involving rock candy. Sorry, are we supposed to find that funny? When reliving traumatic memories of suggested sexual abuse and buggery, a few notes of Dueling Banjos will make it funny. As if, movie. John Cena looks out of place in the film, anyways. The big muscles, wooden face with the funny hair cut with limited lines that makes him look like a silly mini slow Terminator bodybuilder than a quick, fast, Marine. Cena is a decent wrestler. It's just his selling and presentation that sucks, much like this movie. The movie seems like a throwback to 80s action movies with all the pointless excessive action scenes that has nothing to do with the film. Trust me, there are some action scenes in the movie that plays no part in the plot line like Triton meeting the redneck or Triton as a security guard. The movie is B Movie "so bad it's good" kind of action-flick. If you don't take it serious, it's good fun. Still, the movie is a no brain meathead type of film that would make you wish that it could have rented a better movie out there.
