SABOTAGE [2014]

The shittiest part about David Ayer's dirty DEA agent thriller, Sabotage, is that it's quite obvious something good was buried underneath the huge mess that it became.
Why anybody thought Arnie could carry a film that requires a lead to act well is beyond me.  Infact The Governator seems to have completely rewritten the film himself to turn it into his own vapid vanity project of shittiness.  Jam-packed with a host of wonderful character actors, many whom seem embarrassed to be involved, it frequently shows some glimmer of promise but that's quickly diminished by some obvious last second reshoots.   I don't usually have a problem with strong violence and language but here it's so forced you just feel bad for anyone involved that wasn't in Predator.
