Critics Consensus

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

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.

Filme: The Marine – Busca Explosiva Elenco: @johncena @therealkellycarlson @ripfighter @imabigail58 @brotherparker5919 @manubennett Modelo: #ação Duração: 2h Ano: 2006 Minha opinião: Este é o 1º filme de John Cena em 2006, onde seu papel faz de um cara sério como no filme 12 Rounds 2009. Hoje em seus filmes sempre tem seu papel cômico. Cena aqui sua interpretação é ao estilo Arnold nos seus primeiros, quero dizer é a mesma fisionomia do inicio ao fim, onde concetra tudo na ação, correria e porradaria. Um filme que gostei do enredo. Onde Cena volta para sua casa e para sua esposa Kate (Carlson). E temos em paralelo Rome (Patrick), Angela (Bianca), Morgan (Parker),.. e sua quadrilha que roubaram dimantes. E nesta fuga pegam Kate e acabam usando como refém. E agora Cena fará de tudo para resgata-la. Aí agora ação até o fim. E temos Robert Patrick que é o vilão. E existe toda uma perseguição na mata, nos rios,..... Desde esta época Cena me chamou atenção e depois de 12 Rounds gostei mais ainda. Porem depois ele deu uma sumida e agora em toda esquina vemos ele em um filme. Roteiro e enredo boa. Vale apena assistir? sim Nota: 7

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.
