The Marine 6: Close Quarters

The phrase uttered half a dozen times "finish it", subsequently could mean the end of the franchise. Mike "The Miz" Mizanin portrays the soldier Jake Carter in the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th films. I have reviewed all the films and let's just say the acting in each in every one is sub-par at best. I have mentioned time and time again that the billion dollar company WWE should have invested more time, money, and talent to make the franchise work. However, these films will eventually become a cult phenomenon because of the star power of the WWE.

The film has a generic storyboard with a girl who is kidnapped by malicious Irish gang and Jake and his CO in the service are in the wrong place at the right time. The entire film takes place in an abandoned brewery with close quarter fighting that leaves little to be desired for. Shawn Michaels (Luke) is the CO and I have to say his acting is horrid, fight sequences terrible and watching him run is laughable. Now Becky Lynch on the other hand was the surprise in the film as the baddy. I enjoyed her performance and fighting style.

I actually like to watch all these low budget Direct-to-Video action movies and I have watched all the entries in the Marine sequels. Out of all these sequels The Marine 6: Close Quarters is easily the weakest of them all. I know no one is watching these movies excepting a great script or great acting or anything like that, still all the other Marine movies were a one time watchable action flicks which managed to entertain me with some solid action and fight scenes, whereas in this one the action and fight scenes feel quite dull and very choreographed and they also have one of the worst/dumbest twist i have ever seen. So if you like the previous Marine movies and you are a fan of the WWE and old school action movies and you have 90 mins to spare you can give this one a try otherwise just leave this one behind.

I won't lie I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.lol. The story line ain't all that but this movie had no dull moment.👏👏👏👏👏

This one was worst than all previous 5 movies which were kinda fun, I don't think they'll make another one, hopefully.

The no-spoilers-here plot twist three quarters into the sixth instalment of the WWE Films' Marine franchise definitely threw me for a loop, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one.

Overall, this was the weakest entry in the series since Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin assumed the titular role in The Marine 3. The action is highly unbelievable - which is truly saying something for this franchise, which almost wears it's check your credulity at the door action sequences like a badge of honour - and the acting is pretty horrible, too.

Shawn Michaels' character getting around the place at a run and even leaping through the air after being impaled on some rebar did it for me. I mean, I don't mind a movie that stretches the imagination, but this was too far; just dumb in places. Michaels can barely act.

A shame the franchise ended this way. After a disappointing second entry, Mizanin really rejuvenated what had begun as a John Cena vehicle. This, though, was a mis-step.
