The Marine
2 WWE wrestler Ted DiBiase Jr.
stars as Joe Linwood, a marine sharpshooter who goes with his
gorgeous wife to a beautiful tropical resort--but when
terrorists take his wife hostage, Joe leaps into action! There's
no simpler way to describe it: The Marine 2 (which has almost
nothing to do with The Marine beyond the title) is Die Hard on a
tropical island. And as such, it's pretty good. The
cinematography captures the luscious landscape and crystal-clear
waters; the action scenes are punchy and propulsive; the
villain, played by Temuera Morrison (probably best known as Boba
Fett in the Star Wars prequels, but he first made his mark in
the compelling Once Were Warriors), is suitably intimidating;
and DiBiase may not be emotionally expressive, but he's a solid
hunk of muscle. Michael Rooker (Henry: Portrait of a Serial
Killer) hams it up as an ex-soldier turned scuba guide who gives
Joe a hand when the chips are down. Pitch your expectations
appropriately and The Marine 2 will provide solid action
entertainment. --Bret Fetzer from amazon.com
