'Sabotage' (2014) - David Ayer.

A far higher budgeted, gorily Gung Ho, Seagal-style actioner with an immaculately grizzled Arnie playing one of his most audaciously ambivalent characters as 'Breacher', the battle-weary, cigar-chomping head of a riotously rumbustious, trash-mouthed DEA task force, an extremely fractious, volatile crew of hedonistic head-knockers whose frequent lapses of judgment and cavalier attitude to 'law enforcement' finally puts Breacher's hateful seven dead-bang in the unwavering firing line of their suspicious superiors and, much, much worse, a gruesomely efficient South American death squad are closing in for the kill!

'Sabotage' is a remarkably brutal, nihilistic actioner that is raised above the mire of over familiarity by having one of the more forceful, full-blooded and morally dubious protagonists Arnold Schwarzenegger has played thus far; a well made, tough movie frequently let down with a rather prosaic, unrefined screenplay, yet the oppressively bleak tone and exquisitely grisly, luridly gut-spilling deaths have a deliciously exploitative quality, making David Ayer's enjoyably twisted 'Sabotage' one of the more thrilling, darkly disturbing Hollywood misfires in recent memory. I enjoyed this far more the second time out, as Arnie's renegade 'Breacher' has a tangibly old school, blood n' guts gravitas, and his doom-laden mania for retribution provides some remarkably vivid imagery!
