Sabotage


Ready for a guilty pleasure flick with all of the classic token cliches?  Let me introduce "Sabotage"!  Instantly streaming on your Netflix screen, you can see Ahnold as yet another bad ass in a modern day Predator.  Ready for the cliches?  Here you go!  I highly trained team of total bad ass DEA, undercover agents, each with different yet over the top personalities.  All having attitudes and no respect for anyone other than the team.  Throw in a black dude (gangster), a trailer hot, crack head chick who is also bad ass.  Led by the veteran with a haunted past (Ahnold).  Now include hundreds of "F" bombs to ensure its not a Disney flick, naked strippers, a drug cartel, and two uptight detectives.  Sound familiar?  If you have watched an action flick this century it should.  Amidst the horrible reviews and classic internet trolls tearing this movie apart, I absolutely loved it!  Seriously, just look at the poster above and tell me this is an Oscar contender.  Its not, and you know its not going in.  I would put this up there with my top 5 Arnold movies ever (Terminator, Predator, Running Man, Commando, Total Recall).  The other actors are cool, yes they are over acting the bad boy parts, but its a dude flick through and through.  Great movie you should watch!  Now get to the choppa!

FYI:  Best line by Arnie: "Look at you with your 48% body fat!"
