‘Sabotage’ Review
You’ve got to love Arnold Schwarzenegger. After giving up a flourishing acting career for politics, the muscle-bound man was elected governor of California, whereupon he screwed the state by dismantling its welfare and educational systems and lowering taxes for giant corporations.* Then he screwed wife Maria Shriver by screwing their housekeeper (and fathering an illegitimate child) and, now that he’s out of office, he’s screwing Hollywood with a string of junky movies that are downright embarrassing: “The Last Stand” (2013) (which pretty much cut short director Kim Jee-woon’s Hollywood career), “Escape Plan” (2013), and now this violent and stupid film. The non-stop carnage romp is about a group of DEA agents who steal $10 million in cash after storming a heavily armed cartel safe house and then are murdered one-by-one by an unknown assassin. It’s sex, tattoos, dirty words and bloodshed with absolutely no redeeming qualities — there’s no vision, no style and no sense. [*To be fair, Schwarzenegger supported same-sex marriage, tried to beef up California’s healthcare system, and was a strong advocate of green legislation.] Extras: “Making Sabotage” featurette. Blu-ray adds alternate endings. Vitals: Director: David Ayer. Stars: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sam Worthington, Olivia Williams, Terrence Howard, Joe Manganiello, Josh Holloway, Mireille Enos. 2014, CC, MPAA rating: R, 109 min., Action, Box office gross: $10.499 million, Universal.
