WWE films: "The Marine" gets good reviews

WWE and 20th Century FOX have sent out test screenings of �The Marine� to gauge the industry�s reaction to the upcoming feature film. �The Marine� is the first movie from WWE�s new production company, WWE Films. The movie features WWE Champion John Cena playing a marine, who is repatriated after an injury and finds out that his girlfriend [Kelly Carlson of �Nip/Tuck�] became a victim of hijackers while he was serving in the US army. WWE calculates the production of the project, lead by John Bonito, with a budget of 15 million dollars.

The first batch of screenings took place this week and have been favorable. Reviews were positive, with most calling it a cliched, yet entertaining action film. Cena�s acting skills aren�t really displayed in this �popcorn� action flick, although he is praised for having the right combination of looks and charisma to serve as a solid lead actor. Despite being a very early production for WWE Films, the movie is praised for having a very legitimate and �blockbuster� feel.

Don't really have much to say about this, it'll be interesting to see if the critics agree.
