G.I. Joe: Retaliation
Heroes are made in America.
Directed by Jon M. Chu
Produced by Paramount Pictures, Hasbro
A high-octane military action thriller built on conspiracy, betrayal, and spectacle, with sustained tension and explosive set pieces but minimal emotional depth.
Framed for crimes against the country, the G.I. Joe team is terminated by Presidential order. This forces the G.I. Joes into not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra; they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence.
