Sabotage boasts one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's finer post-political performances, but it's wasted in a movie driven by grueling violence that punishes seemingly without purpose.

I don't know what Ayer is trying to prove by dunking the camera in spilled guts and having it linger over charred and frozen corpses. Apr 3, 2014 | Full Review…

What redeems all this, to some extent, is Ayer's bleak but honest vision... he understands how law-enforcement people witnessing the depths of humanity might lack the necessary character to climb back up. Apr 3, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

For most of its running length, Sabotage is a gritty, compelling motion picture with twists to make a pretzel envious. Unfortunately, it overstays its welcome. Mar 28, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Director David Ayer has made two of the best films about the tough lives of cops -- Training Day and End of Watch -- but his streak ends with the very violent and ultimately forgettable Sabotage. Mar 28, 2014 | Rating: 2/5

There's something deliriously subversive about how proudly Sabotage wields its R rating. And while it's too clumsy to be good, it does tie together in way that's mostly satisfying. Feb 13, 2019 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

'Sabotage' contains the most graphic nastiness of any film Ah-nuld has ever made. It'll keep your attention, but you'll possibly lose your lunch and feel slimed. Jun 16, 2016 | Rating: 2.5 | Full Review…

"Sabotage" is a through back to good R rated cop action/drama movies. A DEA task force led by Schwarzenegger completes a big raid. When they do they try to still 10 million dollars from the cartel. However, the money goes missing and someone begins to take out the team one by one. Sam Worthington, Terrance Howard, and Mireille Enos round out the very eclectic cast. Schwarzenegger is definitely showing his age, but of all the movies he has done since he left office, I think this is his best work. This is a pretty hard R movie, which surprised me. I wasn't really expecting it to be as bloody as it is. But it was a good surprise because this is much better than I had heard or thought. It's at 20 percent on rotten tomatoes, which is insane. David Ayer directed this along with "Training Day" and "End of Watch", both of which are amazing. This isn't as good as those, but it is right up there. Ayer is a fantastic director, and anytime I see him name on something I'll be lining right up to watch. Very entertaining movie, but not for the weak at heart.

I don't understand all the hate. I really enjoyed this flick. If you're a Schwarzenegger fan, chances are you're going to enjoy this. He delivers a fun powerhouse performance. This is a film that does what it sets out to do: entertain.
Leave no loose ends. Good Action Movie! The whole cast was great don't get me wrong, and i enjoyed the plot of the whole film, as much as it could have been a little longer with a few more, twists and turns, it still got the point with lots of gun fire, lots of "breaching" and lots of cussing for no reason. Arnold himself being team leader, did a great job, and finished his mission no matter what, i enjoyed the hell out of this film and i think it was a come back for Arnold, it wasn't a flop. This movie had everything going for it, action packed, lots of good actors, lots of crazy gun fights, lots of cussing and dirty jokes, i saw a review that said this is a "guilty pleasure for manly men".....honestly its just a guilty pleasure for anyone who likes action movies and Arnold surrounded by a group of good actors, i hope to see him doing more movies like this, this movie was more about him and less about the other actors, i think anyone who is an action movie fan, and an Arnold fan....would enjoy this....so give it a shot. 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.
An powerhouse and adrenaline-charged edge of your seat action-packed thriller. An explosive knockout from start to finish. A hard-core story that's filled with action, mystery and great character development. It's Director, David Ayer's toughest and most brutal film to date. A powerfully engaging and full-throttle action-packed thrill-machine that will keep you guessing right to the very finish. A shot-gun blast of mind-blowing suspense and fire-power all the way to the end and with some explosive star power added to the mix as well. I loved this movie. A wickedly entertaining and electrifying movie. Arnold Schwarzenegger gives one of his best, grittiest and strongest performances ever. Schwarzenegger just gets better and better as the years go on and shows he is more than just a nostalgic action star but a strong actor and leading man. Sam Worthington is excellent. Olivia Williams is terrific. Terrence Howard, Joe Manganiello and Mireille Enos are fantastic. The entire cast is great together and turn in solid performances. This movie just rocks, trust me pulses will pound.
