Joe Manganiello plays Grinder, one of the DEA operators on Arnold Schwarzenegger's task force in Sabotage. David Ayer directed the 2014 film as an Agatha Christie whodunit with automatic weapons and cartel money. Ten million dollars disappears during a raid, and then someone starts killing the team one by one. Manganiello's Grinder is one of the first to die, which wastes his physical presence but keeps the body count moving toward the film's ugly conclusion.
Ayer made his name writing Training Day and directing End of Watch, and Sabotage shares his interest in law enforcement people who operate too close to the line. Nobody on this task force is innocent. They all stole the money. They all know it. The mystery is whether the cartel is coming for payback or someone on the inside is cleaning house. Manganiello doesn't get much screen time to explore that tension before his number comes up. His watch hasn't been identified.
