The Marine 3: Homefront

It wasted me 1.5 hours in my life...sucks. My wife said so too. I watched this one because the previous two ones were good. Unfortunately this one is really sucks. I'm not saying the actor was bad but the story is terrible. I could saw the end when I watched it for 20 minutes. Basically it's a no brain movie. Jeez I don't know why I'm still wasting more time for writing this comment. Maybe just because I feel sorry for the one. I guess there will be no v4.0. event die hard had 4.0 and not too bad. I think I got to review the DVDs of the previous two ones. I think the requirement as the minimum length for reviews must be at least 10 lines of text is unreasonable because the only thing I wanted to say about this movie is, sucks.

After watching the movie I'm actually very surprised at how much I liked it. In some scenes it's quite obvious that it's a low-budget-production with a simple script but that does not make it a bad movie at all. The actors were very solid and IMO Mike "Miz" Mizanin did a heck of a job in his acting debut. As shown in the extras, he clearly did his homework preparing for his part as a combat-proved Marine. But not the action-scenes really caught my attention but his actual acting-skills e.g. when arguing with his family where he showed genuine, credible emotion. The action-scenes were cool but I would have liked a couple more of them. :) So go on, buy the movie but do not expect it to be Oscar-worthy or something ... just enjoy!

One of the dumbest movies out there. they use an unattractive 30 year old woman to play the teenage girl.. its almost comical.. they just gave her a braid in her hair. the cops are like starwars storm troopers .. they shoot alot of bullets but NEVER hit anything..and apparently the fbi swat team never takes cover and just runs into hail of bullets.. the glances between cast members... omg this was bad..but people who think wrestling is real will probably like it and maybe thats the audience they are going for..

One of the good B grade action movies . With less profanity and controlled violence, this movie does not stray from the main story line. An antagonist felt wronged by the Corporate system turns into violent rage targeting rich . I wonder how SWAT team easily gets shot by bad guys they are supposed to undergo training to maneuver however fall easy prey to bullets. Mike the Mitz is good. There are couple of intense hand to hand combat scenes . Scott Wiper has given a watchable action thriller with shoe string budget. There is no sex which comes as a breather . Technically well made.

It didn't take me long into watching "The Marine: Homefront" when I said, "I've seen this before." In fact, I repeated that phrase in my head A LOT during the entire ninety minutes this movie took. Clearly the story and various plot elements aren't very original. And there are plenty of plot stupidities, like the fact the bad guys often can't hear gunfire taking place just a short distance away, or that their number are being slowly eliminated. Actually, the unoriginality and the stupidity of the script didn't concern me that much - I can take such stuff in a movie like this as long as there is good and plentiful action. But this movie doesn't have any of that. In the first half of the movie, there is perhaps a minute's worth of action in total! While the second half of the movie has a lot more action, it isn't that well done. It's generic shooting and punch-ups, filmed without any skill to make it rise above routine. There's nothing much of interest in this movie, and the best praise I can give it is that it was shot in the Canadian province I live in (British Columbia) and gave some work to my fellow citizens in front of and behind the camera.
