But at least Transporter 2 was fun. Robert Patrick is the only actor worth watching in this film, and even he had some wacky forced lines that made no sense. If you've seen the trailer you've seen it all. I'm so serious! I've seen every B movie out there and this is a C for sure! Also being a Marine, I was at first blown away by how pathetic the "Marine" background footage was that they gave Cena. But about 1/3 of the way through this poor excuse for an action film, I was very happy that they had him wear a camouflage Army cover (hat for you non-military types) instead of a cornered Marine issue cover when he saluted that officer because neither he nor his character deserved to wear a Marine uniform. By the way, a high ranking officer would never salute a Sgt. first. It's always the other way around! Apparently there were no real Marine advisers on this movie set. Even if they had all the Marine details in order, the action was extremely stupid and I was left severely disappointed. Neither Cena nor Cena's character in this movie deserve to be called The Marine. One last thing. I've seen some people say the action is so realistic in this film. That is the furthest thing from the truth. I saw at least 300 bullets (I'm not exaggerating either) unloaded into the car Cena was driving during a chase and not a single flat tire as a result. Need I say more!?!
John Cena has rocketed into Hollywood stardom with films like "Bumblebee" and "The Suicide Squad," but every actor gets their movie start somewhere, and longtime WWE fans may remember Cena's movie debut in WWE Studios' "The Marine." Cena detailed the experience in a GQ interview.

"The Marine" released in 2006 and currently sits at 17% on Rotten Tomatoes. It was Cena's first foray into film making, and it came about very quickly for him. The movie was originally meant to star "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, but weeks before filming, Austin dropped out for "whatever reason." This led to Cena getting quickly placed in the movie by former WWE CEO Vince McMahon. McMahon told Cena he was to be in Australia in 10 days time to be in a movie.
"Me being enamored with the WWE, and it was my life's passion at the time, I said, 'No problem," Cena said.
