The Marine 4: Moving Target (2015 Video)

Not bad for a direct to video film

[5/10 · 10 April 2015]

If you are not looking for much logic or depth then you can surely enjoy this film as a nice action entertainer. This time the production value and budget was a bit higher than its previous installment which was a good thing.The film had lot of action right from the word go (at times it felt a bit too much) and continues till the end where everybody is just shooting at each other with some nicely choreographed hand to hand combat as well. Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin returns as Sgt. Jake Carter in the fourth installment of the franchise and becomes the first WWE wrestler to work in two films of the franchise. I have always enjoyed all the films in The Marine franchise as all of them takes away your boredom for little over an hour. It may be a million miles away from a good franchise but it's not a pathetic one for sure. The story this time shows Jake Carter working in a security agency which is protecting a witness who has proof against a defense corporation's evil agenda, soon Carter finds himself in a bloody war against ex-special forces turned mercenaries who are hell bound to kill the witness. William Kaufman who had directed films like Sinners and Saints does a pretty good job as the director. Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin may not be the best wrestler/actor around but he sure is better than few for sure and I loved his character in both the films. The film also had WWE diva Summer Rae who had almost no duologue's in the film neither a impressive character, all she did was shooting. Melissa Roxburgh and Matthew MacCaull as supporting characters gave a typical direct-to- video performance. But overall like I said at the beginning if you are not looking for some serious stuff then you can definitely enjoy this film.
