Arnold Schwarzenegger is back as the leader of an elite DEA task force that takes on the world’s deadliest drug cartels in ‘Sabotage’. <br /><br />After the team successfully raids a cartel safe house, they think their job is done – until their members mysteriously get executed one by one. <br /><br />“I don’t remember ever doing any role that was as close to that, as dark as this character was. I mean, in ‘End of Days’ I think I played a little bit of a dark character but I think this one was by far the darkest and also the most complex character, with his own faults and his own twisted way of thinking,” said Schwarzenegger.<br /><br />David Ayer, the creative force behind ‘Training Day’ and ‘End of Watch’, directs this action-packed ride.<br /><br />He said he wanted to balance the character’s dark side with Schwarzenegger’s natural charisma.<br /><br />“Arnold could pretty much shoot a baby on camera and you’re going to love him. I mean, he’s so naturally charismatic. And that charisma comes across in the camera. But I wanted him to play a character with a much more tumultuous internal life. And he definitely pulled it off and achieved it,” he said.<br /><br />Schwarzenegger, 66, who returned to acting after a seven-year stint as governor of California, says he’s fully committed to his Hollywood comeback: “I have no interest in running for anything. I’ve done that. I never wanted to be a career politician. I always am interested just to take on challenges that everyone says is impossible to do and to take it on. Right now I’m back into acting. I said ‘I’ll be back’ and I’m back. And that’s what I love to do.”<br /><br />Featuring a strong cast and delivering exactly what it promises – an entertaining action-packed cop movie – ‘Sabotage’ is on worldwide release this spring.
