TNA_MARK SAVVY: DVD Review for The Marine 2.

Hey Everyone, TNA_ Mark here! I’m not going to lie to you, I’m not too pleased that I had to miss the TNA PPV last night to go do the job for my job at Boston Pizza. I was in no mood to put BP over while I had to make a shit load of BP Smokey mountain spaghetti and meatballs for a restaurant infested from a local

kid’s hockey tournament. I need to start booking PPV nights off. As I chanted “This is bullshit…this is bullshit…” over and over in my head it occurred to me that maybe it’s time to start looking elsewhere for work. But where does a recent high school grad with 1 year community college and 7 years of prep cooking began to look? Living in the land of opportunity I knew that I didn’t have to worry. You have to be pretty fucked up for the Army not to accept you.

Quite excited by the army idea I went home after work to do some research. The lady and I downloaded the movie the Marine 2. We were about to download the Marine 1 when my lady thankfully pointed out the photo of the dude from that 12 Rounds piece of shit on the ninja video banner. I would rather not watch the Marine 1 and suffer the consequences of not being able to follow the plot line of the Marine 2. As a potential future Marine I had to learn to make sacrifices. This film automatically received 1 Star right off the bat for making the decision of not having the 12 Rounds dude in the sequel.

The Marine 2 stars up and coming screen actor Ted DiBiase who plays Sergeant Joe Linwood. I really liked this actor. I have a few cousins that came back from Iraq. For the first while after they returned it was like they had all their personality drained out of them from all they have seen. I felt DiBiase really nailed that aspect.

The Marine 2 and his hot wife go to a resort somewhere in Asia. My lady says the reason he has a hot wife because hot chicks love Marines. I can get used to that. Kick ass cinematography, by the way. The wife works for a “super bajillionaire” that is trying to launch this new resort. They don’t say exactly where they are but it’s one of those douche bag countries that don’t like America. These people waste little time and attack the resort and take the guests hostage including the Marine 2’s wife.

Thankfully there is a former US Army guy there on the outskirts of the resort that helps Sergeant Joe. This old dude is an explosives expert. Awesome. It would have been cheap and unrealistic for the Marine 2 to take on 50 well armed militia by himself so I am glad they added the old demolition dude for the continuity and realism of the story. So Joe loads up on crazy explosives and heads out for some full metal mayhem. I am not going ruin the ending and tell you if he succeeds…but let’s just say that when Nitro hits the impact zone…It’s one big flashy clusterfuck!

SPOILER ALERT: This movie is awesome.

5 STARS (out of 5)

PEACE!
