The no-spoilers-here plot twist three quarters into the sixth instalment of the WWE Films' Marine franchise definitely threw me for a loop, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one.
Overall, this was the weakest entry in the series since Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin assumed the titular role in The Marine 3. The action is highly unbelievable - which is truly saying something for this franchise, which almost wears it's check your credulity at the door action sequences like a badge of honour - and the acting is pretty horrible, too.
Shawn Michaels' character getting around the place at a run and even leaping through the air after being impaled on some rebar did it for me. I mean, I don't mind a movie that stretches the imagination, but this was too far; just dumb in places. Michaels can barely act.
A shame the franchise ended this way. After a disappointing second entry, Mizanin really rejuvenated what had begun as a John Cena vehicle. This, though, was a mis-step.
