The Expendables

Mercenaries hired to help free an island of people in the Gulf of Mexico from a dictator and his army.

Simply plot line, but the action is beyond comparison. I love how real and brutal the fight scenes are. Definitely a great movie, in my opinion.

Re: The Expendables

I watched a camera quality that was about 5/10, and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It had action from start to finish, but you know .. a few cheesy bits as in every action movie (to be expected IMO), too bad that Bruce didn't play a bigger role, same with Arnold. I'm also very disappointed JVD or Steven Seagal were not in this movie. It would have put it over the top.

Doesn't matter. VanDamme has a long history of turning down great roles and accepting bad ones. #-o

My best friend couldn't take the General seriously because she saw Angel every time she looked at him. It was pretty funny, actually.

Re: The Expendables

Finally got round to watching this, some good one liners, lots of bang bang boom bad guys dying, good to see a lot of old faces again but I think Statham is a bit young TBH, and even though Statham is a far better actor this movie isnt about acting ability and JCVD would been a better choice completing the set of old action hero's. Shame Arnie didnt have a bigger part ( or better lines ), and I think they should have brought him back in for the final scene, but overall Id say it delivered what I was expecting, cheesy funny shoot em up action :D
