It seems like Arnold Schwarzenegger just left his political career, yet he’s already had a few movies hit theaters (THE LAST STAND and ESCAPE PLAN) and many more on the way. Next up is SABOTAGE, which co-stars Sam Worthington (who is barely recognizable here), Terrence Howard, Joe Manganiello (True Blood), Mireille Enos, and Olivia Williams. It’s written by Skip Woods and David Ayer and directed by Ayer (END OF WATCH). Check out the first poster (above) and newest trailer below. While I’m not entirely sure I want to see an ultra-serious Arnold film again (everyone remember END OF DAYS?), the involvement of David Ayer has me hopeful, and the cast is pretty solid here. Arnie has MAGGIE next (a zombie movie with Abigail Breslin) and eventually planned sequels to CONAN and THE TERMINATOR… in other words, he’ll definitely be back after this. Tell us what you think of SABOTAGE in the comments below.
In “Sabotage”, Arnold Schwarzenegger leads an elite DEA task force that takes on the world’s deadliest drug cartels. When the team successfully executes a high-stakes raid on a cartel safe house, they think their work is done – until, one-by-one, the team members mysteriously start to be eliminated. As the body count rises, everyone is a suspect.

With all due respect to Arnold, I don’t think I will be seeing this movie until it’s on TV for free. It’s not that it’s bad. The cast looks outstanding, the story taken from current headlines. I can’t really tell about the writing because there was not much dialogue in the trailer. The trailer does make it seem way too formulaic, resorting to violence and explosions to forward the story. Bottom line? If you really want to get me into a theatre to watch an Arnold movie, release “True Lies II” which I am led to believe is in the can, but has never been released due to Arny’s political career. I think it would be much more entertaining. Thanks
