The Story:
The third Marine (Mike "the Miz" Mizanin) comes home from leave, and runs into trouble in his hometown. There's some bad dudes planning some bad deeds, but when they kidnap the Marine's sister, well you know they're going to pay!
First there was John Cena's film. Then came Ted DiBiase Jr.
Please note, you must always add Jr. when discussing Ted DiBiase, otherwise I'll assume you're talking about his dad, The Million Dollar Man.
Now, The Miz.
And for a WWE Studios production, it's not half bad. It's about as fair-to-middling as the entire franchise has been up to this point. Nothing that's going to win an Oscar, but nothing that is a complete waste of time.
WWE Studios is really good at surrounding their wrestlers with talented actors that can carry the film, and this one is no exception. The character actors do their part playing their roles well, but you need a charismatic villain to be the counterpoint to the hero.
Thankfully, Neal McDonough is on hand as the villain. He makes an excellent bad guy, and this is a welcome return to WWE Films since he got his butt handed to him by The Rock back in Walking Tall.
Nothing ground-breaking or earth shattering. Some decent fights and chases throughout the film.
Final Grade: C+
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: I could watch it again, but unless they put the whole franchise on a disc...for cheap... well there you go. ;)
