The Marine 6: Close Quarters

The story is cheap, you can watch this while doing housechore and still understand the story, is just about rescue mission. And most of the scene take in one place. So i barely can call this movie that studios movie make, more like fanmade movie with low budget.

Guy falls twenty feet into a spike pit. A piece of rebar fully penetrates his chest.

Buddy: You alright?

Guy: Is it deep?

Two guys are kickboxing in a ring.

Guy: Remember when I took a bullet for you?

On the face of it, this movie deserves the one and two star reviews. The acting is terrible, the plot nonsensical, and the action scenes are straight off a WWE match cutting room floor.

What works is the humor. Delivered deadpan, the jokes land more often than the pulled punches.

Six stars for Marine 6.

The phrase uttered half a dozen times "finish it", subsequently could mean the end of the franchise. Mike "The Miz" Mizanin portrays the soldier Jake Carter in the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th films. I have reviewed all the films and let's just say the acting in each in every one is sub-par at best. I have mentioned time and time again that the billion dollar company WWE should have invested more time, money, and talent to make the franchise work. However, these films will eventually become a cult phenomenon because of the star power of the WWE.

The film has a generic storyboard with a girl who is kidnapped by malicious Irish gang and Jake and his CO in the service are in the wrong place at the right time. The entire film takes place in an abandoned brewery with close quarter fighting that leaves little to be desired for. Shawn Michaels (Luke) is the CO and I have to say his acting is horrid, fight sequences terrible and watching him run is laughable. Now Becky Lynch on the other hand was the surprise in the film as the baddy. I enjoyed her performance and fighting style.

I actually like to watch all these low budget Direct-to-Video action movies and I have watched all the entries in the Marine sequels. Out of all these sequels The Marine 6: Close Quarters is easily the weakest of them all. I know no one is watching these movies excepting a great script or great acting or anything like that, still all the other Marine movies were a one time watchable action flicks which managed to entertain me with some solid action and fight scenes, whereas in this one the action and fight scenes feel quite dull and very choreographed and they also have one of the worst/dumbest twist i have ever seen. So if you like the previous Marine movies and you are a fan of the WWE and old school action movies and you have 90 mins to spare you can give this one a try otherwise just leave this one behind.

I have seen all of the previous Marine films and have enjoyed them, yes the acting needs work but the budget seemed to have been okay and this also goes for the action sequences.

Now I don't know what happened with this movie, maybe the WWE did t want to give anymore money to these movies as they were not the cash cows they thought they could and would be.

Here we get awful acting especially from Martyn Ford, stop giving this idiot movies to star in. He ruined and I mean ruined the Undisputed movie he was in, that one was the worst out of the whole series and here he is awful in every scene he is in.

Yeah if you think his acting is bad well th same goes for Michaels as well.

The whole movie stinks of cheapness and it shows from the awful acting and dialogue to the action scenes.

Give this one a wide berth and watch one of the previous ones.
