“The Marine 6: Closed Quarters” (** out of four) was a tired sequel about two former marines (Mike “The Miz” Mizanin and Shawn Michaels) who join forces to rescue a kidnapped girl (Louisa Connolly-Burnham) from a gang of international criminals who want a criminal trial thwarted or else they plan (what else?) worldwide destruction. Sixth entry in this series that began in 2005 merely exists as a showcase for Mizanin and Michaels as action heroes but those wanting to see their acting and action abilities would be better off watching re-runs of the WCW. To be nice, neither has the expansive thespianism or charisma of original “Marine” star John Cena and this one makes the original look like classic Arnold/Stallone by comparison
