5 best movies starring Peacemaker’s John Cena

5. The Wall

Rotten Tomatoes Rating:

• Critics: 65%
• Audience: 42%

Here is the critics consensus for The Wall on Rotten Tomatoes:

"The Wall makes the most of its limitations — albeit perhaps not quite enough to stretch its tight-focused action into a consistently gripping feature-length thriller."

John Cena’s movies have usually not been well received by the critics. The Wall is only one of five films he has done that has received a fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Wall tells the story of two soldiers in Iraq who are answering a distress call. Once they arrive on the scene, they come under heavy enemy fire and have to retreat behind a wall to take shelter from the incoming shots. It was a movie high on tension and suspense.

The Wall was well received by critics, but going by the audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, it is easy to see why the film was considered a financial flop. Despite the star power of John Cena and what many considered a solid performance by his co-star Aaron Taylor Johnson, the movie only took in $4.5 million dollars at the box office according to Box Office Mojo.
