'Sabotage': Ahnold does drama . . .

Or a pretty close facsimile of drama. This is the most serious he's been but not to the exclusion of who he really is.

This mystery-thriller follows a top, renegade DEA team through a cartel safe house raid and the subsequent attacks on the team triggered by said raid when $10M is found to be missing from a pallet of cash. The Atlanta PD gets involved via Olivia Williams who plays a role unlike anything I've seen her do before. Dressing mannishly she manages to affect a Southern accent that adds quirky charm to her character. Speaking of which, the whole team of notables is a veritable circus of well-developed characters who act as one until they start to die one by one.

This film has a close up, handheld POV for the most part. It really adds to the grittiness of the subject and the characters. The dialog is snappy and there are plenty twists and turns from beginning to end. The violence is gruesome but not non-stop.

For an Ahnold movie, I enjoyed this one. It has a lot going for it with strong performances and a good script. Plus, this film far out does its trailer. You have no idea what is really going down.
