(This month's theme the million dollar wwe theme www.youtube/watch?v=Vm4TG56KGZ4 )

okay da summer iz ovah so goin' intah da field t'make some crop circles fer da last tourists.
ok.
hi welcome to BBO! sister blog to pathofenlightment where i would post among things wrestling results.
september sees the return of night of champions and who debuted at the first NOC?

why the star of todays film, wwe superstar ted DiBiase.Okay wwe films a partner of fox, had very a bad track record.
first the marine, staring the object of the IWC's hatred,John cena-FAIL!
See no evil a teenslasher where kane stuck eyes into large jars of ginger beer-fail!
and todays film that was only cinematicly released in america.
(sound of audience leaving)
okay what if i tell you that this film is good!
(Audience GASP!)
So lets dig into the true story that is marine 2.

we open to a pistol falling in a thai street picked up by a young boy. who aims it at a girl with a water pistol.but it has no bullets. this gritty scene set us up for the rest of the film. as Joe linwood(Dibiasie) is planing to assasianate a An Arms dealer. as he does the little boy comes up to the rooftop. as a bit of wwe fanservice, teds charector makes the pay-me sign with his fingers,before pulling the trigger.This has the boy scream, drawing attenion to our hero in the crossfire, the boy is shot dead.this rattles joe so much that he asks for two weeks leave.

and it couldnt have come at a better time, as joe's wife invited him to his bosses new hotel.which i'm sure will NOT be invaded by villians(!)

so they get a tour of the hotel with has its own geo-thermal factory. which i'm sure will NEVER get blown by terrorists(!)

so after meeting robins prickish boss, they met the scuba inscructor and general trader,church, a former paratrooper,he also tells joe and robin about a secret route back to the hotel!
PLOT POINT!

So after some padding,we cut to night time.after a confrontation with connor,robins boss , joe leaves the hotel as get this, this comes out of the blue, but the hotel is invaded by terrorists! i know quite a stretch, isnt it?
 so thats the plot to the marine 2.
cliched but in a good way!

the terrorists demand that connors family pay tribute. they then kill a hostage on tv. Joe asks church to help him but cant.the terrorist demask as a way to tell the hostage that they will not survive this ordeal.

In a military tent a goverment repreasentative called Shu tells the army not to attack as it will jepordise the hostages.
so mercanaries are sent in.
oh mercanaries. in an action film.and shu pointed out that they fight for money.
This'll end well(!)

so yeah! as expected one of the mercanaries called blondie (despite having dark hair) betrays his troop . the rest are  mowed down by terrorists! as the fire fight sets fire to the jungle.domu the mastermind is told joe is dead.

the next day joe asks church for help. this time he oblilges by giving him bullets his boats and a Bag Of Holding. so joe goes in kills some terrorists and picks up weapons from enemies and lying around.

FINAL FANTASY IS NOT REAL LIFE! Weapons would not be left all and sundry like that!

so domu is angered that joe is alive.
Brother: i will CUT! OUT! HIS! HEART!
ME: i am ACT! ING!

Joe attacks blondie in the wash room and tortures him with a trouser press.

speaking as someone that once grilled a sandwich on a trouser press i know how hot they can get.

so joe is unarmed and the terrorist use muai thai . But it would'nt be a film with a wrestler a fight scene with wrestling moves. its a good scene but come on! a drop kick in a real fight? you use that and bam knife in the back!

seeing the smoke caused by joe. church goes into the battle.

joe gets captured and shu taunts joe. he says hes doing it for the island people. but when he when mention a share of the money.shu is blown up.

so joe breaks free from his shackles by breaking one his hands, and church leads the hostages out. but domu takes robin and escapes  to a boat.

so lets wrap this up!
joe kills Domu, he rescues robin, there is a big explosion, and film ends with the Linwoods vowing  to go home.

THIS FILM IS AWESOME!
the action is top-notch, the directing is fact-paced and the charectors are suprislingly fleshed out and well acted. there are few bug-bears. Namely DiBiasie is too much of a pretty boy to be a proper action hero, and the villians are a bit hammy.

but it was a rememberable film. Does that mean the next wwe Next films will be good? considering the next film will be a 7ft man acting as a 13 year old the answer. sadly is no!
