Arnold Schwarzenegger is not the kind of movie star who finds himself over his head often. It usually takes a classic Arnold one-line before he's firing off artillery and back on top.

But things are very different in this exclusive new trailer from his next film Sabotage (opening March 28) which sees Schwarzenegger as John 'Breacher' Wharton, the head of an elite DEA team taking on a Mexican drug cartel.

The cartel take Breacher's family and we see Schwarzenegger helplessly watching his wife being tortured via video.

Sure, Schwarzenegger fumes "I'm going to destroy them" and is soon atop an SUV shooting a machine gun at the bad guys. But under the gritty approach of director/screenwriter David Ayer (writer of Training Day, director of End of Watch), this world is based in a painful reality.

The ensemble cast is nearly unrecognizable as rogue-ish fellow DEA agents including Joe Manganiello as Grinder (with the cornrows) and Sam Worthington as Monster.

Even Schwarzenegger had to deal with a SuperCuts bowl special in the film for realism. while training with his acting crew under true tactical supervision.

They need it because, as Monster warns, "The cartel are the best assassins money can buy."

Based on Schwarzenegger's pain-filled moan at the end, he's going to learn that the hard way.
