Poor Lawrence Monoson. In the '80s he seemed to have a bright acting future ahead of him thanks to memorable and well acted roles in movies like "The Last American Virgin" and "Gaby". Two decades later, he plays a kind of minor supporting role the direct to video "Marines", a real comedown. It's a really cheap-looking movie, filled with obvious stock footage and little in the way of production values. The title figures are really weak characters, with practically nothing done to differentiate them from each other. What's worse is that they are pretty much portrayed as incompetents, with most of them getting killed on the battlefield by lowly rebels. As for action sequences, they are really sluggish and endless. In fact, the whole movie feels very slow and endless.
Is there anything redeeming about this movie? No.
