The Marine (2006)
7/10
Don't dismiss the film because of who made it

Warning: Spoilers
Critics automatically dismissed this film because it starred a WWE Wrestler. I watched it, and thought it was a good throw back to the old school action movies. For it being his first time out, I thought John Cena did a good job. I never watched Nip/Tuck, so I did not know much about Kelly Carlson. She is definitely easy on the eyes, and did a pretty good job herself of kicking some butt in the movie. Robert Patrick was awesome as the lead villain, and his acting talents are vastly underrated. The stunts and special effects were very good. My only two complaints on the movie were the car chase after the villain's first kidnap John's wife. For the car to have that many bullet holes, and none of them hit him was a little too far fetched. The other is the scenes where they are running through the woods to get away from John and the police. They just seemed to go on way too long. Other than those two things I enjoyed the heck out of the movie, and look forward to seeing Mr. Cena get another crack at the big screen
