Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

RoboRabbit89 Arnold is really cool in this film even though it's not his best work.Arnold plays John Wharton aka "Breacher" leader on the DEA swat team. On their latest bust his team find a large crate size of money and they agree to steal it ( at least a small amount).In this film Arnold doesn't play a good cop or at least not a squeaky clean one. It's been awhile since I've seen this, I can only remember seeing this at least maybe four times and that I think was three years ago so I'm a little fuzzy on details. The movie is basically a whodunit because himself and his team are targeted and being killed one by one by an anonymous killer and their stolen drug money is missing.Director David Ayer is the co-writer with Skip Woods they both made I feel an alright little action-mystery thriller here, but having said that this movie does have is flaws which I'll get into some here.The dialog is not really good, or at least in parts, but on the whole it's OK. The characters could have been written a little better as in the team mates, I don't know, I felt something was missing because you don't feel really close to them. As for the Arnold's character, at least you cared for the most, his dialog wasn't great either but OK in parts. On to the murders, the after views of team mates killed are fairly horrific and quite gory too so if your squeamish you have been warned, but it's really not that bad because those scenes are briefly shown and their aren't that many.On to the good stuff, the action scenes are awesome and very exciting, there is a car chase scene where Arnold is in the back of a truck firing at a car with the shooter in the open trunk firing back that scene was awesome. And they're cool shoot outs plus an awesome kick ass ending that is very satisfying which I love.Overall not a great movie but I think it's one of those sort of fun tough guy action movies that is in my opinion a bare bones no BS type that can be enjoyed once and awhile.I give this a 4/10. If your an Arnold fan or even an action fan I think you can enjoy this, give it a look.

mpspanglerx I give this a one for the movie they were trying to make... but what they made was absolute pure comic genius. For that, I give it a 10/10. I watched this movie three different times in one week because: A. It took me that many tries to get it. B. I had to show my friends its comedy gold. This is what the future of comedy will be. Just like what Tim & Eric did and is now growing stale. This will be the future. The movie is bad. It makes no sense. You can tell there was a lot of tension behind the scenes or something. Zero chemistry and I think that they had to make do with what they had in many scenes because of whatever reason. Either fighting, poor direction... something. The only thing that got me was: I can't believe Sam Worthington was in this. Like I'm not a huge movie guy, and most Hollywood people are vain trash not worth giving money, too. But I had at least at monochrome of respect for Sammy. LMAO. Gone, now. It just... an epic level of bad... not hooky like Army of Darkness. None of that... its bad acting, cinematographic nightmare, bad direction, terrible editing...If you loved this movie in the way that I did... Netflix the recent Steven Seagal Movies... man those are good.

Cathex Yes, it is a very political movie. It presents the point of view that the militarisation of the US Police force is not something to be questioned, but to be celebrated and sensationalised. After all, in this film the cops need the light armoured personnel carriers, the assault rifles, the full camouflage ballistic body armour and of course the tactics of urban warfare because they are fighting foreign drug cartels armed with 50 calibre machine guns for goodness sake! Not US citizens.The fact of the matter is that giving this kind of impression to the public trivialises and undermines a very serious current debate about what kind of role are we asking our Police to perform? I.e. should they think of themselves as soldiers fighting an actual war on crime in the heart of America, or should they think of themselves as peace keepers who serve the public interest and keep people safe? It wouldn't take a huge leap of the imagination to guess that Arnold is totally behind the idea of Police as warriors. And I'm sure he is as eager as the rest of us to see the cops use all their cool battlefield gear. The trouble is that it may just encourage that military hardware to be more frequently deployed against normal citizens in the US as the public become desensitised to it and certainly goes a long way to making it appear not only normal, but cool.The worst kind of mindless and irresponsible crap to come out of Hollywood in recent years. Only watch if you want an example of the way in which the media is used as a propaganda tool to push the political opinions of lobby groups and right wing financiers.

Fluke_Skywalker With an $18 million worldwide gross and a %19 RT score, David Ayers' 'Sabotage' typifies Arnold's comeback. But unlike efforts before and since, I honestly feel this one gets a bad rap.It's a relentlessly grim and unpleasant film, featuring a cast of characters that are extremely unlikeable. So much so that before the plot kicked in I struggled to find any emotional purchase here. But once Olivia Williams' character is introduced and the dominoes start to fall, I found 'Sabotage' to be a well acted and intriguing mystery in the mold of Agatha Christie's 'Ten Little Indians'.Surrounded by a strong supporting cast, Arnold--who has looked either rusty or bored (or both) since his comeback--gives his best performance in years. But the standout for me was Olivia Williams, who is fantastic (dodgy attempt at an American by way of Atlanta accent aside). I loved the way her character was written, and she really steals the movie out from under her costars in the same way Tommy Lee Jones did in 'The Fugitive'. I desperately want to see an Investigator Caroline Brentwood movie.It certainly has its missteps and Ayer lays on the sleaze and gore to the point that they stop being effective and start to become comical, but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed 'Sabotage', and unlike most of Arnie's recent stuff, I think it deserved a better fate.
