Sabotage (2014)

hyped garbage

Best movie ever!

The first must-see film of the year.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Fairly simple plot about revenge and a drug bust gone wrong. Not that it really matters, this is a movie that delivers on action and violence. And it's pretty strong on the latter. A lot of unconvincing CGI blood flying around, but at the same time much of the gore is pretty realistic looking too. And we get the usual Arnie somehow surviving despite have rounds of serious ammo aimed at him. As for the big man himself he's one of my heroes, with the likes of The Terminator & Predator being some of my favourite movies. But sadly he just looks too old here to be doing this sort of thing now. Come on Arnie, time to hang up those weapons! Pretty forgettable film, perhaps worth watching just the once.

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.

I like to think that I'm fairly film savvy. Many times I can tell you exactly what's gonna happen next because I've seen it in countless other films and it can be rather painful to watch. Thus, how pleasant it is to see a plot twist that you never saw coming. This film has two of them.On the surface, Sabotage looks like the typical Schwarzenegger film: Guns, action, and more guns and more action. But what it really is, is a character study of a tortured man. Arnold will never win an award for his acting and there are a couple moments that are rather cringe worthy but still, he's solid and capable. But, the acting around him is nothing less than first rate. My favorite was Olivia Williams who plays a cop investigating the murders of members of Schwarzenegger's crack DEA team. I'd heard the name, but her face wasn't familiar to me. Turns out she's a British, Shakespearean actor; yet, there was not a trace of any of that in this film! Strangely, this is one of Arnold's best films. Mainly because he gets to play a character he's never played before and it works. Therefore, I find it hard to believe that Sabotage didn't get much attention - I just recently came upon it over the internet - it's gotta great cast, a talented, accomplished, writer director (David Ayer), and a compelling story line. Because I've seen so many unoriginal films lately, it's not always easy for one to hold my attention. I wouldn't say I was riveted to the screen, but Sabotage did hold my attention without giving me the feeling that I was being falsely manipulated. Which is what you want any film to do.

I originally wanted to watch this purely for Olivia Williams.Wow.What a piece of crap!The only highlight of this film is actually Olivia Williams, the rest of them are just dicks, even Arnie!It feels kind of pointless to watch a movie where you just don't care what happens to all but one of the characters but I sat through it and guess what? They were all still dicks in the end!Aside from Williams, I can't think of one thing I liked about the movie, which is disappointing considering the cast; Sam Worthington (Avatar), Joe Manganiello (True Blood), Josh Holloway (Lost), Terrence Howard (Empire), Max Martini (The Unit) and Mireille Enos (The Killing).This is written and directed by David Ayer and if this is what the Suicide Squad is going to be like..... well we are in for some trouble!Don't waste your time with this! Me being tortured is the only reason I would watch this again.
