Picture:
B+ Sound: C+ Extras: D Film: C+
After
returning stateside, Jake Carter (Mike ''The Miz'' Mizanin) works as
a paramedic, but he find himself in different kind of battle when he
finds a wounded young man who is hunted by a dangerous local biker
gang ...and wants him dead, at any cost. He is trapped in an
amusement park's underground parking lot with a wounded man, without
back up, communication and any weapons Jake must become the one man
army against a legion of bikers in The Marine 5: Battleground
(2017).
Jake
is an ex-Marine now working as an EMT when he suddenly receives an
emergency call, but what he finds is a dead body and another wounded
man in an underground garage in a hit gone wrong mixed up with a
local biker gang who is out for blood and revenge. Trapped
underground and without back up, they find themselves completely
surrounded and caught in the crosshairs and crossfire. Jake,
conflicted between his sworn duty to save lives and his ability to
take lives, must fall back on his military skills in order to
survive, and it is kill or be killed.
This
was your typical macho military man movie, an ex-military man is
forced to use his former training to survive impossible odds and
overwhelming enemies, out numbered and out gunned, it is all about
who is the bad ass who can kick the most ass. It seems like the WWE
wants to make more wrestlers into action movie stars and start making
their own movies, but how can you tell these formula releases apart?
Hmmmmm......
The
1080p 1.78 X 1 image is a typical HD shoot (shaky camera, rough look,
tired flat shots) we've come to expect from all WWE hodge podge, but
the DTS HD MA (Master Audio) 5.1 mix is loud, harsh and tries too
hard in the worst ways, so it is not good. Extras include trailers.
