Sabotage

In David Ayer's 'Sabotage', a DEA tactical unit's deadly operation against a drug cartel goes awry, leading to the mysterious deaths of its members. As bodies pile up, the team's leader, John "Breacher" Wharton, finds himself the prime suspect, forced to navigate a labyrinth of betrayal and paranoia within his own ranks. He must race against time to uncover the truth before he becomes the next victim, or before the killer strikes again.

Sabotage received largely negative reviews from critics and was a box office disappointment. While some acknowledged Arnold Schwarzenegger's attempt at a grittier role, the film was widely criticized for its convoluted plot, excessive violence, and underdeveloped characters.

• Praised for its attempt at a darker tone and Schwarzenegger's performance.

• Heavily criticized for its gratuitous violence and nonsensical plot.

• Felt like a throwback to 80s action films but without the charm or coherence.

Google audience: Audience reviews were mixed, with many finding the action sequences intense and enjoyable, but a significant portion felt the story was too confusing and the violence was over-the-top and pointless. Some appreciated Schwarzenegger's return to action, while others found the film's tone too bleak.

None notable.
