Mainline goes that retarded idiots are robbing diamonds, and they get a wife of the stuff guy as a hostage. They don't do anything with that hostage, but they keep her, because they want to gets beaten up (i don't find any other reason) by the husband of the hostage (the Marine). If they had released the hostage, the marine would have lost his interest to robbers. Stupid story.If you want to watch retards in action, check this out. Marines role is okay and his wifes, but those criminals are just retarded idiots.

How bad could this movie be ? The whole thing from start to finish was like a SNL comedy routine. Being an action movie fan I can accept a great deal of plot holes and unbelievable sequences but jeez there is no way with as many automatic weapons being fired at this dude - no hits ! The ending - as a former life guard I promise she wouldn't be coming back from that one - even with the "heroic" tho incorrect life saving efforts. Skip this one for sure.

A group of diamond thieves on the run kidnap the wife of a recently discharged marine who goes on a chase through the South Carolinian wilderness to retrieve her. The Marine is the first of the 5 Marine films that are all been produced by WWE it self and so far it's gotta be the worst of them all. First as good as Cena might be as a wrestler he is bad on picking scripts and this film is the perfect example, i mean common how in the hell does this film have Manu Bennett, Robert Patrick and John Cena and it's still a mess? First of all it's boring and slow and 2nd of all it has some dumb humor choices that i can't understand, Cena spends an entire film with a knife and not a single gun and although there are a couple of good moments of action and Patrick is great as the villain, there's nothing more to it than that. It tries to be Commando meets Rambo but it lacks both the tone, the jokes and the action of both of those films and in the end it's a disappointment for sure. (4/10)

Ex-Marine John Triton, finding trouble fitting into civilian life, gets dragged into chasing a bunch of crooks when his wife is kidnapped.I know nothing about WWF wrestling, but I gather John Cena, who plays Triton, is one of its exponents, and the movie success of Dwayne Johnson, also a wrestler in a previous life, may explain the existence of The Marine as a vehicle for Cena. There's only one problem: Johnson can act, Cena can't.And not only can't he act, he fails to do so in a film which would have required acting of Oscar-winning standards to overcome the ridiculous script - in one car chase, a car he is driving is peppered with machine gun fire (as evidenced by the bullet strikes all over the bonnet, sides and roof) without a tyre being hit or, more importantly, Cena himself given that he is driving having knocked out the windshield. Mind you, let's be fair, he's holding up a bulletproof vest in one arm to protect himself (of course, this means he can't see where he's going, but let's overlook that).Robert Patrick is the main villain and looks as if he's having fun chewing scenery. Kelly Carlson is Triton's wife and looks like a young Sharon Stone. There is no other reason for watching this film.
