Critics Consensus

Overblown in every possible way, The Marine is either so bad it's good or just really, really bad.

John Cena has more scenes of him running than he does actual lines. So action packed that there wasn’t room for actual good dialogue and plot.

Jon Cena's 'The Marine' offers a dose of action and thrills but falls short in creating a compelling connection to the characters. While Cena's performance and the action sequences deliver entertainment, the film struggles to immerse the audience in the characters' journey, leaving it feeling more like a showcase of stunts rather than an engaging narrative. It's akin to a thrilling stunt show, providing moments of excitement but lacking the depth needed to truly captivate the audience. Worth a watch for action enthusiasts, but don't expect a deep emotional investment in the story.

Stupid and way too cartoony, and I'm saying as a disadvantage. All too stupid and the PG-13 makes things dumber

An enjoyable predictable dum action film that is a nice call back to silly action movies of the 1980's and 1990's.

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

...rarely, if ever, as engrossing or engaging as its seemingly foolproof premise might’ve indicated.
