Brief Synopsis – A team of undercover DEA agents try to figure out who is slowly killing them one by one after a mission goes south.
My Take on it – mediocre Arnie film that is par for the course at this point in his career. The characters aren’t developed at all and all seem like caricatures that one might expect from an action film. The action scenes are done well, even if the story itself is a bit too formulaic throughout. The mystery isn’t more engaging and fails to really drag the viewer in. I would have expected a better film with the amazing cast here, but that wasn’t meant to be at all.
MovieRob’s Favorite Trivia – According to director David Ayer, Sabotage was heavily cut by the studio in favor of delivering more of an action-based film rather than a mystery thriller. The original cut was rumored to be close to 3 hours. (From IMDB)
Rating – BAFTA Worthy (5/10) (downgrade from original review)
