Every Arnold Schwarzenegger Movie Ranked Worst To Best

Of the films Schwarzenegger has starred in following his return to acting, Sabotage might just be the strangest. Unexpectedly, this isn't your typical Arnold action film, with director David Ayer instead bringing all his nasty proclivities to the frame in what ends up being a gritty, gory, and totally aberrant example in Schwarzenegger's filmography, despite its action credentials.

This isn't me saying that Sabotage is bad, but rather that its tone marks a huge contrast from most other Schwarzenegger movies. It's not particularly fun, everyone's an asshole, and Ayer revels in the guts and mud of it all as he would later do to more success with 2017's Fury. It's not a perfect formula, but Schwarzenegger at least takes to it with a real energy, mixing bravado with world-weariness and in turn becoming the film's biggest highlight.

Sabotage is grim and gross, and your mileage with it will probably vary based on what you want out of Schwarzenegger. Even so, despite its bleakness, there remain glimmers of value.
