It is not particularly a bad film. It is just nothing special.

A movie so dumb it may actually cause brain damage.

The Marine subscribes to the notion that there's no such thing as a gratuitous explosion.

Some crazed jewel thieves get trigger-happy in a gas station, and kidnap John Cena's wife. This is useful, as it adds the dangerous excitement of having an angry pro-wrestler chase them through South Carolina forests.

A delectably bad '80s-style actioner.

The story is minimal and the action is preposterous, but it doesn't try to be much else.

It's not a good film by any practical standard, but The Marine is bad in just the right way, a mindless throwaway that's at least smart enough not to take itself too seriously.

Derivative in the extreme, but some good stunt work and humorous touches make it a lot more tolerable than it could have been.

A happy surprise.

It has the air of garbage, but is kind of cute, despite the awful dialogue.

It's a shame that The Marine did not receive a theatrical release in Australia. Not only was much of it shot here, but as an action popcorn adventure, it has reasonable merit.

The Marine often feels like an oddball black comedy about a dysfunctional band of sociopaths, just masquerading as an action movie about one tough ex-Marine.
