Robert Patrick co-stars as the villainous Rome -- who is more than willing to kill if it means staying one step ahead of the law -- and Nip/Tuck star Kelly Carlson appears as the endangered object of the vengeful veteran's affections. With nothing left to lose and enough training to take down a small army, the hard-fighting Triton sets out to rescue his wife, and ensure that the psychotic Rome receives a painful taste of Semper Fi justice. Commercial veteran John Bonito takes the rein for his feature directorial debut. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Gregory Kirschling, Entertainment Weekly
A delectably bad '80s-style actioner.
-
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
A happy surprise.
-
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
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.
-
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
The Marine proves a poor showcase for the homeboy charisma Cena shows week in and out with the WWE.
-
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
The genius of the film is in its unapologetically obvious crowd-pleasing moments.
