this movie wasn't best as Marine John Cena and Ted DiBiase, Jr. Marine 2 the franchise should have just followed With John Cena In First Marine in big budget franchise but sometimes i hated franchise's going to Blu Ray and DVD. Film Directer,Actor,Writer Scott Wiper who did a WWE Wrestler's in Action movies The Condemned (2007)Steve Austin witch i liked. Marine 3 had good action scenes and good fights R.I.P(Darren Shahlavi)Cazel did had good fight scene with Miz but not the best scene i have scene i wish there could be more scenes with him but he is only 1 hour of film.

Story Follows that(Michael Gregory "Mike" Mizanin)Jake Carter who come United States Marine Returns Home To Bridgeton Jake had to sisters (Ashley Bell)Liz and (Camille Sullivan)Amanda having fun after that Liz and her boyfriend been kidnapped from radical militia group Villain wasn't great expect for Robert Patrick from Marine 2006 was good villain like Always but this Villain sucked who starred alongside former WWE superstar DWAYNE "THE ROCK" JOHNSON as yet another villain in (WALKING TALL). Using every bit of his military training (Neal McDonough) Jonah Pope just lame villain who got Jake Sister as hostage. Jake Carter goes there to save day but the Action Scenes were good Jake taking out bad guys killing them it was fun then with Darren Shahlavi fighting with Miz scene didn't go long But I have seen better. In fact I have expected a much better movies in the beginning Jake had Combat skills this is not best Marine franchise 1 and 2 were great but this eh there some scenes are unrealistic low budget film camera looked eh normal not the best i have seen what can i expect from WWE Studios witch i always like buy depending what movies they make Marine 3 is has same story like previous Films it didn't had interesting story 6.10 some of action scenes were not much executing for me i wish it did a lot better film to it i had no problems with Miz Wrestler but i wanted to have John Cena Back on Franchise

It didn't take me long into watching "The Marine: Homefront" when I said, "I've seen this before." In fact, I repeated that phrase in my head A LOT during the entire ninety minutes this movie took. Clearly the story and various plot elements aren't very original. And there are plenty of plot stupidities, like the fact the bad guys often can't hear gunfire taking place just a short distance away, or that their number are being slowly eliminated. Actually, the unoriginality and the stupidity of the script didn't concern me that much - I can take such stuff in a movie like this as long as there is good and plentiful action. But this movie doesn't have any of that. In the first half of the movie, there is perhaps a minute's worth of action in total! While the second half of the movie has a lot more action, it isn't that well done. It's generic shooting and punch-ups, filmed without any skill to make it rise above routine. There's nothing much of interest in this movie, and the best praise I can give it is that it was shot in the Canadian province I live in (British Columbia) and gave some work to my fellow citizens in front of and behind the camera.

This movie really sucked so bad, but what can you expect from WWE studios. Apart from the Miz being in it and the older Sister having a NICE!!! Butt, the movie sucked. Same old cookie cutter plot from the previous Marines movies or better yet all the movies WWE makes. Seriously how hard it is to write a decent story plot. They waste money on set, location, and effects and they make the cheesiest, most predictable movies ever.

They seriously need to hire better writers for these movies. The Miz was okay at acting and so were the rest of the cast, but the story and dialog ruin everything.

It wasted me 1.5 hours in my life...sucks. My wife said so too. I watched this one because the previous two ones were good. Unfortunately this one is really sucks. I'm not saying the actor was bad but the story is terrible. I could saw the end when I watched it for 20 minutes. Basically it's a no brain movie. Jeez I don't know why I'm still wasting more time for writing this comment. Maybe just because I feel sorry for the one. I guess there will be no v4.0. event die hard had 4.0 and not too bad. I think I got to review the DVDs of the previous two ones. I think the requirement as the minimum length for reviews must be at least 10 lines of text is unreasonable because the only thing I wanted to say about this movie is, sucks.

One of the dumbest movies out there. they use an unattractive 30 year old woman to play the teenage girl.. its almost comical.. they just gave her a braid in her hair. the cops are like starwars storm troopers .. they shoot alot of bullets but NEVER hit anything..and apparently the fbi swat team never takes cover and just runs into hail of bullets.. the glances between cast members... omg this was bad..but people who think wrestling is real will probably like it and maybe thats the audience they are going for..

I really can't believe that Mike The Miz from WWE can act that good; throughout the entire movie his expressions were really awesome and he acted just like another great professional. The movie was so unpredictable I saw on the edge of my seat, and all the time I watched the movie it was totally worth it never expected WWE to make such a great movie. In fact, every Marine related movie is really awesome. This movie was really action packed, blockbusting and damn it was fun watching it. Come on people you must purchase this movie because its awesome, I ain't no official of WWE or something its just that Mike the Miz has really impressed me to that state that I am writing my third-ever review for a movie on IMDb. The soundtrack for this movie is dynamic, the last song is just so awesome you would want to download it and listen to it over and over again. The Miz had a really great role in the movie, he really has showed that he can play lead roles really well and I have seen several John Cena movies but this just shows that Miz is better in the field of acting.

Not too fond of the opening narration. It sets the tone that I have to like the movie because it's about supporting the troops, but is it? Or is it just exploiting them like every movie seems to these days. It's like if I put some marine in my movie or something about a soldier it gets a higher score, automatically.

But you know what? Once that John Cougar Mellencamp- type song came on after the open narration, I knew then what type of homeland American movie I was getting into and just needed to accept that.

I'm a fan of the Miz. I've never seen him wrestle, and more familiar with him as Mike from the Real World but I think its cool that someone from the show became big enough to star in his own movie.

But I think they are not sure about his star power as there is a big cast of characters doing a lot of things in the movie, making his part smaller.

Decent gun play makes for some cool actions sequences.

Neal McDonough also made a nice villain. He was sympathetic and unwavering in his cause. It's a pretty bad ass villain.

I actually saw the Marine 4 before I saw this one and as far as The Marine saga starring the Miz, number four is better than number three. Nothing beats the first one starring John Cena, but Marine three was just developing something for the Marine 4.

The Marine 3: Homefront from the long running Marine series mark the first appearance of Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin as the main hero then the star of the series later on with two more sequels.The movie follow a U.S marine officer return to his hometown and as usual find himself in a deadly situation.The movie is well shot,the action scene is hard hitting and bloody with Mike on screen charm all over the place but the biggest problem of this movie is the bad guys.Seriously the bad guys motivation makes no sense at all from his standpoint i kinda guess but how can other guys follow him.Nonetheless it still a fun movie to waste time

(2013) The Marine 3: Homefront ACTION/ SUSPENSE

You know, when I first got into Hong Kong action films of Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, John Woo and Yuen Woo-Ping during the 1980's and 1990's, I read in a magazine somewhere that the way they used to make films in Hong Kong, they would first come up with never-before-seen action and comedy routines/ sequences and then build a story around it. And for a very long time, I would use my fast-forward button while playing all the preliminaries, and just watch the action and comedy routines since the plot would always have to be secondary and non-existent anyway. The reason I'm saying this is that if I had just used my fast-forward button while playing the entire rabble-babble synopsis of this piece of junk and just watch the few action sequences it has, then my rating might've been higher since the plot is completely idiotic and phony in the first place. This is like, yet again, another one of those movies where they would show the characters portrayed not completely black and white. And I just hate those type of movies since theirs really isn't anyone to root for in this rather fictitious set up. It's like if whales are on the endangered species list, and then to justify keeping whales from being wiped out would also mean killing many innocent lives, or if bankers and CEO's are stealing the public's money would have to make a statement if it includes also killing innocent civilians, these acts totally contradicts the movies message or in actuality goes against the point of Martin Luther King and Gandhi. Co-written and directed by Scott Wiper, starring WWE wrestler, Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin as Sgt. "Marine" Jake Carter who's just come home to his small town for a temporary leave, and finds out that his sisters are planning to sell their fathers estate property since they're unable to continue to make payments. While Jake's older sister is seeing the sheriff of this small town near Seattle, his other sister who is younger than him is seeing a guy he doesn't approve of. Meanwhile, frequent bad guy, Neal McDonough as Jonah Pope had just finished robbing and then burning some of this particular bank's money- a scene taken from "The Dark Knight". It's one of Jonah's political statements was to punish the bankers and CEO's who exploit citizens, for it was only a start for something bigger.

After watching the movie I'm actually very surprised at how much I liked it. In some scenes it's quite obvious that it's a low-budget-production with a simple script but that does not make it a bad movie at all. The actors were very solid and IMO Mike "Miz" Mizanin did a heck of a job in his acting debut. As shown in the extras, he clearly did his homework preparing for his part as a combat-proved Marine. But not the action-scenes really caught my attention but his actual acting-skills e.g. when arguing with his family where he showed genuine, credible emotion. The action-scenes were cool but I would have liked a couple more of them. :) So go on, buy the movie but do not expect it to be Oscar-worthy or something ... just enjoy!

One of the good B grade action movies . With less profanity and controlled violence, this movie does not stray from the main story line. An antagonist felt wronged by the Corporate system turns into violent rage targeting rich . I wonder how SWAT team easily gets shot by bad guys they are supposed to undergo training to maneuver however fall easy prey to bullets. Mike the Mitz is good. There are couple of intense hand to hand combat scenes . Scott Wiper has given a watchable action thriller with shoe string budget. There is no sex which comes as a breather . Technically well made.

I am currently making my way through The Marine franchise and so far this is my second favourite out of the first three.

Mike "The Miz" Mizanin is Jake Carter, a US marine back home from deployment for 2 weeks to see his two sisters and old friends. When he learns his sister has been abducted by a group of extremists planning to plot a terrorist attack after his sister and her boyfriend witness an execution, he puts all of his training and will power into finding them and bringing them home.

I liked this movie because there was good acting from The Miz with emotional scenes and music adding to the meaning of his family in the acting and good action and fight scenes.

Action movies are predictable but this one I thought was a little different. The main protagonist was bad but not your typical bad guy. Yes there was a scene that was unrealistic( Come on its Hollywood you expect it to be realistic what action movie is.) but you have to make the star the hero of the movie. It is called The Marine: Home Front for a reason he had been through a lot and knows about combat. He know how people think and work that what he is trained for. Marine's are bad-asses. I thought the acting was great and non-stop just kept watching going, wow can he top himself. It was a great plot and thoroughly enjoyed watching it. I waited weeks for the movie to come out being a huge Mike the "The Miz" fan. I was hoping but not expecting it to live up to my expectations. It did that an more. It was "AWESOME".
