John Triton on a new and exciting mission after a long absence in Iraq. After spending a long time in the war against Iraq, John decided to return home after he left office at will. Lies in John's mission to bring back his wife, who was savagely abducted by a group of thieves. John tries to plan again to follow the path of South Carolina in his mission which looks very exciting because of many challenges that may face in his way to search.
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.

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

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.
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.

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