Mini Review: The Marine

THE MARINE attacked theaters this weekend and took no prisoners on its way to 6th place at the box office. But it's the #1 non-sequel, non-prequel, non-comedy, non-animated, non-remake film in the country. Go Cena!

I'm not going to waste too many words on this movie. It's dumber than a semi-regular Arby's customer. There's nothing original about it. It's also heavily watered down to maintain a PG-13 rating.

But I'm gonna say that I didn't hate it, and at times I even had some jolly good fun. Pretty much any positives to come out of this mess are thanks to Robert Patrick. He's obviously having a blast hamming it up as the villainous jewel thief Rome. I doubt we'll be seeing John Cena headlining another film, at least not a theatrical film, anytime soon but I hope we see Robert Patrick in larger roles in major movies. He does appear in FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS opening this Friday and is co-starring with Matthew McConaughey this Christmas in the football drama WE ARE MARSHALL.

You know who would make a great movie villain?

Ted "the million dollar man" dibiase. He is pretty awesome

Only if he wears that jacket with the dollar signs on it. That's how the audience knew he was rich!
