Being a former USAF member and trained in certain hand to hand combat, this film lacks a lot in belief. Yes, we as the audience know it is fiction, but there has to be some believability in it's action sequences. The stunts were lacking entirely and the fight scenes demonstrated bad format in my opinion. WWE as a conglomarte has the resources and funding to put more effort into their films. Mike Mizanin has lead the charge of the marine franchise for 3 films and they do not get much better. In this film the WWE enlisted the help of Maryse Mizanin, who subsequently had 2 minutes before her character died, Naomi who did nothing for the film, Bo Dallas, Heath Slater and Curtis Axel. This film certainly did not impress me in the least.

BATTLEGROUND is the fifth instalment of the MARINE franchise; these are low budget action thrillers put out by WWE Studios. It was directed by James Nunn, who previously made the underrated TOWER BLOCK, and it's mildly entertaining, more so than I was expecting. The story sees wrestler Mike Mizanin playing the world's most unlikely paramedic, who gets involved with a gang of Hell's Angels when he's trapped in an underground car park with them. A DIE HARD scenario, in which he picks them off one at a time, subsequently ensues. The film has a boring setting and back drops and not much in the way of story, but it does have a fast pace, some unexpected twists, and a lot of violent mayhem, so it's not all bad. It's the kind of film you'll watch and forget about the acting, focusing instead on bad guys getting whacked and beaten.
