Plot[edit]

John "Breacher" Wharthon (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is the leader of an elite team of DEA agents, formed by James "Monster" Murray (Sam Worthington) and his wife Lizzy Murray (Mireille Enos), Joe "Grinder" Philips (Joe Manganiello), Julius "Sugar" Edmonds (Terrence Howard), Eddie "Neck" Jordan (Josh Holloway), Tom "Pyro" Roberts (Max Martini), Bryce "Tripod" McNeely (Kevin Vance), and "Smoke" Jennings (Mark Schlegel).
During a raid on a cartel warehouse, in which Smoke is killed, the team steals $10 million from the cartel's money, hides it in sewer pipes to collect later and split among themselves, and blows up the rest to cover their tracks. However, the money disappears, and their superior Floyd Demel (Martin Donovan) finds out about it and suspends them for several months, during which they are investigated for the theft. With no concrete evidence of their participation, Demel reinstates them. Later, Breacher finds out that Lizzy has become addicted to drugs and that her marriage with Monster is failing.
Pyro is killed when his trailer is rammed by a train, after someone drives it to the tracks while he's unconscious. Investigator Caroline Brentwood (Olivia Williams) and her partner Darius Jackson (Harold Perrineau) are assigned to the case and interrogate Pyro's teammates. Brentwood notes Neck is avoiding interrogation, and Breacher accompanies her to his house, where they find him nailed to a wall and disemboweled. Brentwood recognizes the execution as the M.O. of the cartels, leading Breacher to assume the cartel is hunting them down over the stolen money.
Breacher and Brentwood visit Tripod, who left the DEA after being suspended, and find him dead after a shootout in which he killed an assailant Breacher confirmed is a cartel enforcer. Monster later visits Brentwood, who is suspicious of Breacher, and tells her that Breacher's family was kidnapped by the cartels, who videotaped their murders and later sent the tape to Breacher alongside the severed limbs of his wife and son. Breacher spent months searching for his family's killers before the team convinced him to move on. Brentwood apologizes to Breacher, and they end up having sex.
Jackson traces the dead enforcer's cellphone to a cartel safe-house, which is raided by Breacher and his team. However, the enforcers are not there. They are later found dead at the bottom of a river near Tripod's house, and Brentwood realizes that they were killed before Pyro and Neck, meaning someone is framing the cartels of targeting the team. Breacher reunites the team to tell them what happened, and Lizzy lashes out and reveals she's been having an affair with Sugar. Grinder later confesses to Brentwood that they stole the money. Breacher meets with them to discuss what's next when Grinder is shot dead by Lizzy, who is behind the murders alongside Sugar.
Breacher and Brentwood go to Lizzy's house and find Monster stuffed in a refrigerator after being stabbed to death. Lizzy calls Breacher, pretending to be alone, and arranges a meeting at a parking garage. Breacher goes there with Brentwood and engages in a shootout with Lizzy and Sugar, who attempt to escape in a SUV but end up being hit by a truck. Sugar dies upon impact, while Breacher and Brentwood confront a dying Lizzy, who accuses the team of stealing the money behind their backs, causing her to swear revenge. Brentwood assumed it was Lizzy who had stolen the money. Breacher then admits that he took the money. After Lizzy is shot dead, Brentwood realizes Breacher is gone.
Weeks later, Breacher is in Mexico, where he uses the stolen $10 million to bribe a corrupt police officer into helping him locate the man who murdered his family. Breacher finds him in a bar and kills him and his men in a violent shootout, in which he is shot in the chest. Having finally avenged his family, a wounded Breacher sips his drink as he hears the approaching sirens.

Filming started on September 13, 2012 and was completed by January 2013. While the initially released poster for the film gave a release date of April 11, it was released on March 28, 2014.

Marketing[edit]

To promote the film, Schwarzenegger and Joe Manganiello guested on the March 24, 2014 episode of WWE Raw, where they joined Hulk Hogan in the ring before confrontingThe Miz.[10][11]

Reception[edit]

The film was not received well by critics. The film-critic aggregator Rotten Tomatoes lists 23% positive reviews based on 75 reviews, with an average score of 4.3/10. The site's consensus states: "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."[12] However, IGN gave the movie a rating of 7/10 with the following verdict: "Sabotage is far more effective than its action-centric trailers have suggested, with the film more a mystery-thriller that actually offers Arnold Schwarzenegger and the cool ensemble a chance to act and not just shoot guns."[13]
