"More action?" Well, there could hardly have been any less! For the fact this was supposed to be some kind of huge action film I found it sorely lacking. Unless you count John Cena running about a lot and driving a fire engine as the epitome of action.

Plus, not only is the plot a rip off of, "Die Hard With A Vengeance," but the main action, "set-piece," involving an out of control cable car is ripped off from an old Eddie Murphy movie called, "Metro!" And badly too! Plus the darn thing is barely moving yet no one chooses to jump off the blasted thing!

I don't know what trailer aired for it in the States but you could just save yourself the expense of buying/renting this load of old twaddle and simply check out the one that aired here in the UK because it gave away the ending!

Maybe I will see it when a friend lends it too me....was not very impressed on Cena's first effort

the marine was awful!
so i catch this on cable someday...

Basically a rehash of "Die Hard 3" without the f-words. Watched it only for the British villain -- an actor called Aidan Gillen. He's fabulous, the movie itself is action-packed but ruined by shaky camera angles and too-extreme close-ups (it's hard to tell what's going on in action scenes).

Will rent, and wait for the DVD to go on sale.

Cena's mess of a film called The Marine still burns.

Saw this at the theaters and I enjoyed it,so I will pick this up.

I still kinda wanna see this, just for the novelty of seeing Tommy Carcetti from The Wire (Aiden Gillen) playing an over-the-top action movie supervillain.....

This movie was such garbage.  Cena can't act to save his life, or anything.  I loooove the cover art tho,  cuz it looks like a straight-to-DVD title, which this should have been.

When I owned my video store (which I'm opening back up in August) The Marine was a big time renter. I'm sure this would be too.

How could this movie get any more "Extreme"? Renny Harlin is the man!

The only saving grace of that movie was Robert Patrick hamming it up by channeling a Travolta-style villain (think Face/Off or Broken Arrow). Real top grade, B-movie schlock (no sarcasm intended)

Died on its backside theatrically in the U.S. (perhaps they should've put, "more action," in it rather than waiting for the DVD) and out here in the U.K. theatrically on 27th May..... and on DVD around mid-June if this is anything to go by.

It's coming over here in the UK theatrically. Oddly Fox sold it as one of their big three tentpole movies for this year at the Wolverine press screening, and I must say, that apart from ol' Scooby Doo features John Cena, it looked like decent action guff. Plus, it seems like Renny Harlin has got his action mojo back.

S**tty cover art too.

it played in theaters here, but it lasted like one or two weeks if that.

cena should just make a movie with mark whalberg so i can be assured they aren't the same person.
