The Marine 2 (2009)

This was a straight to video release and I can sort of see why. It wasn't bad at all and quite frankly I thought Ted DiBiase Jr. (WWE Superstar) did a pretty decent job. He's a little ways away from catching up to his predecessor John Cena, but he's almost there. The movie is about a Marine Recon named Joe (DiBiase) who comes home from a mission to see his lovely wife played by Lara Cox (a glorified TV and straight to video actress) who works for a very rich man who is about to open a resort in southeast Asia. The only problem is that the resort is taken over by terrorists and it's up to Joe to save the day and his wife. At first, I thought that was a little weak for an idea but it sort of made sense later on in the film. Like I said, there is a reason why it's straight to video because it wouldn't stand a chance in the theatres. The movie also stars Michael Rooker (The Bone Collector) as an ex-army man who is torn between whether he is a hero or not when it comes to joining Joe on the fight. Two and The Half Stars Out of Five
